Darragh and Lorraine Holland from Dutchy's Fitness in Cavan are on a mission this weekend.
The local fitness gurus are raising funds in the name of one very special and brave Co Cavan boy.
Leon Briody, age 9, was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2020 and has been battling the illness ever since, experiencing multiple relapses and undergoing treatments including a bone marrow transplant and CAR-T transplant.
The goal of the fundraiser by Dutchy's Fitness based in Corlurgan Business park in Cavan is to raise €10,000 which is already reached for Oscars Kids, a charity set up to help children going through a cancer diagnosis.
A special event takes place today called Hyrox for Leon, which will see lots of people from far and near taking on the popular global fitness challenge.
According to Darragh from Dutchy's Fitness, Oscars Kids has been a great support for Leon's family, so the local gym wanted to fundraise for them in an effort to show the appreciation of people in the area.
