IN PICTURES: A hero’s welcome for Derry IronMan champ Danny Quigley

Pictures from Day 10 of Danny Quigley’s ten Ironman triathlons in 10 days as he received a hero’s welcome at the Foyle Road.

Danny undertook the gruelling challenge in memory of his late father, accomplished sportsman Colm Quigley and to raise awareness of suicide prevention. He raised a huge amount of funds for Pieta House and the Bogside and Brandywell Health Forum’s 1-2-1 Counselling Service with around 3,000 people and businesses pledging donations.

Danny is believed to be one of only 88 people in the whole world to have completed the Deca-IronMan challenge and it is believed he is among the fastest, if not the fastest, to do so anywhere in the UK and Ireland.

A true Derry legend.
