Photographer George Sweeney was there for the Derry Journal this afternoon as Danny completed the swimming and cycling legs and embarked on the last running leg.
Local people gathered to cheer him in beside the Foyle Road Destined premises as he arrived on his bike, with more expected to gather for when he arrives early this evening following the 26.2 mile run.
Danny is undertaking the challenge to raise suicide and mental health awareness in memory of his late father, triathlete Colm Quigley, who died by suicide 10 years ago.
He is raising funds for both Pieta House and the Bogside & Brandywell Health Forum’s 1-21 Counselling service. To donate see: www.gofundme.com/f/dannyquigley10Photos: George Sweeney / Derry Journal.
