BACK in 2018 Urney man Darren Campbell completed a 150 day trek along the Pacific coast trail in North America.
A few weeks ago he set off on another challenge this time in the hope of raising money for a charity very close to his heart.
Darren began yet another long distance hike but this time to raise as much funds and awareness as he possibly could for the Irish Cancer Society.
He is currently hiking The Continental Divide Trail which stretches over 3,000 miles (4,800 km) between Mexico and Canada. Darren will pass through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho and then Montana.
He will be doing this hike in the name of a great man, his cousin Eugene Campbell who sadly lost his battle with cancer back in 2018 while he was hiking The Pacific Crest Trail.
You can follow Darren’s adventures on his YouTube page where he posts regular updates. You can tune in and see how he got on when he got stung almost 20 times by bees or when he meets up with some colourful characters along the way.
Spread the word. All donations will be gratefully received.

Good luck Darren from everyone at Urney St. Columba’s
