Irish woman continues gruelling Lap of the Map for the RNLI
The poor weather conditions are proving tough for Mary Hickey Nolan.
She is leaving Cork this morning and heading for Waterford as she continues her challenge to raise funds for the RNLI which began in her hometown of Arklow on New Year's Day.
The wind and rain are making the task more challenging but Mary is determined and running through it all and since she arrived in Cork on St Patrick's Day she's raised nearly €4,000.
This morning the RNLI are bringing her across the water to Ferrypoint so she can begin her run home to Arklow.
Speaking to RedFM News Mary explains why she's leaving Cork with the RNLI.
