Denzil wants to raise a minimum of e25,000 for Irish Autism Action and the Saplings School for Children with Autism in Graiguecullen, Carlow, where he works as an occupational therapist.
Keith Duffy, patron of Irish Autism Ireland, who is an enthusiastic fitness person himself, hopes to join Denzil in the final race of the 12 in 12 Challenge in Denzil’s home town of Tullamore, Co Offaly.
