Triathlon Trio Raise €3,000 for Neil Boyle Benefit Fund

Galway based brothers Pat, Vince and Kevin Boyle took part in the Galway Triathlon in August to raise funds for the Neil Boyle Benefit Fund. It was an Olympic sized event comprising of a 1500m swim, 40Km cycle and 10K run. In all, about 200 people took part in the Triathlon but many were only doing one leg of the event. “None of us had done a triathlon before and I have to say it was great fun. Its way more fun than a marathon!' said Kevin. All three brothers managed to finish the event in less than 3 hours. “We saw the posting for Neil on the Arranmore web-site and decided that we should try to do something” said Pat, an engineer at Nortel Networks in Galway. The lads sent posters around their workplace and when the sponsorship was all totaled up it came to nearly Euro €3,000. “We grew up with Neil so we just wanted to do something for the family” said Vince. Congratulations to the lads for a job well done and if anyone else out there would like to get involved in fundraising they can contact the fund by clicking here.
