Before the race, Andrew said: ““I’ve always loved cycling and challenging myself, as I approach 50 years old, I wanted to really push myself, so I signed up to the Pan Celtic Ultra 2022.

"I’ve never visited Ireland before, or cycled this distance, so I’m really looking forward to it.”

Speaking about his fundraising, he said, “I want to take on this challenge for my father-in-law who died in 2016.

"At this difficult time, he was cared for by St Barnabas House and the care they gave him was just incredible.”
