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.
