Pat Walsh - Ironman World Championship - Hawaii

This fundraiser is for Pat Walsh, originally from Ballina, County Mayo. At 33 years old Pat is currently living in Southend, Essex, England, and has recently qualified for the Ironman world championship in Hawaii. We are trying to raise some funds to help Pat out with the expenses, so he can participate in this once in a life time event, and represent his homeland, Ireland!

Here’s a little history:

Ever since he was a young lad in Ballina, Pat has been massively into his fitness! He was an amateur boxer for Ballina Boxing Club, played Gaelic football for Ballina Stephenities and always stood out as a phenomenal athlete! As the years went on Pat emigrated to England where he has worked tremendously hard. His day starts around 5am and he finishes work around 6pm, to then go on to brutually train every evening in London, travelling back to Essex to sleep, to then do it all again 7 days a week. These hours involve cycling, running and swimming and is after a long days work doing shuttering carpentry.

Anybody who knows Pat will know that he is a freak of nature when it comes to fitness! He has taken part in numerous events, running marathons, completing triathlons and Ironman competitions! 

We hope that you will all get behind this amazing man, as he represents his country Ireland, and the people of Southend, in the CHAMPIONSHIPS, doing what he loves best! Let’s help to take some of the pressure off of him, whilst he pursues his dreams!
