Canoeing Ireland’s national talent development coach has completed seven kayaking marathons in just seven days in a charity fundraiser, as RTÉ News reports.
Jon Simmons, who is also head junior club coach at Salmon Leap Canoe Club in Leixlip, took up the 7x7 challenge which saw him paddle 42km on the Liffey each day for an entire week.
The mammoth effort — which was backed by fellow canoeing names like his fiancée Jenny Egan — was to raise funds and awareness for youth mental health charity Jigsaw.
