Inspirational O'Toole’s Cycle Achievement

BorrisoIleigh Track-Attack’s Presidential Run in July was a huge success with outstanding individual and collective achievements rolled out in abundance.

From swimming the river Barrow to 50km runs to 100km cycles, but one achievement stood head and shoulders above all others.

Over two years ago when living in his native New York, Andrew O'Toole suffered brain trauma following a sports injury which resulted in him lying in a coma for a month and was then further hospitalised for two years. He was told that he'd never walk again.

Along with his family, he came to live in Ireland and was introduced to the sport of cycling by his uncle Paul.

On the Saturday of the Presidential Run, Andrew became a true Track-Attack hero when he joined the cycling crew and cycled the 30km leg from Durrow to Clonmore.

Take a bow Andrew, you're an inspiration to us all...
