Seamus Hennessy completes the Ice Marathon

The former Tipp hurler undertook the gruelling event in the Antarctic in memory of his mother Josie who he lost to suicide in 2000 as an 11-year-old boy.

Running for Josie has raised more than €200,000 which will go to Pieta House and Living Links.

Seamus Hennessy completed the marathon in a time of 7 hours 5 minutes and 33 seconds in 33rd place.

Poland’s Piotr Suchenia was first home in 3.49.18
