This December Paul Fallon will be running 1000 miles around Ireland to try to raise funds for the homeless charity which he started back in January, On The Road Again (OTRA).

The target is to try to raise €100,000 for OTRA (www.otra.ie)

To help the team reach this goal, they are holding events in 8 cities and towns around Ireland during the run.

The goal is to get 1000 people to sign up on the website, and for each person to try to raise €100.

Paul says:

"I realise that these are tough times economically for a lot of people, so we have set up a page with sponsor.ie so that you can ask your friends, colleagues etc to sponsor you.

We should also have sponsorship cards available shortly, people can email me and I will make sure that they receive them.

I am starting the run in Dublin on December 1st and finishing in Galway on New Years Eve. I hope to reach Galway by 3pm so want to try to get at least 125 people to run the last mile home with me.

We will be finishing outside the the mens homeless shelter in the Fair Green.

I would appreciate it if you could spread the word amongst your club. Of course this is not confined to just club runners, people can walk the mile if they so wish, so anybody can sign up.

Lots more details are available on our website."
