Oceans of Hope Challenge 

Oceans of Hope Challenge in conjunction with MS Ireland host the first Introduction to Sailing Day for people with MS  in Dun Laoghaire this week.

This project is being spearheaded by Kerryman, Stephen Fitzpatrick who sailed with Oceans of Hope on their Athens Challenge in Greece last year.

"A man diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) who says his life was transformed by spending time at sea, plans to run sailing days around the coast for people with the condition.

Stephen Fitzpatrick, 56, has linked up with the British charity Oceans of Hope Challenge to run the first such pilot day on the water in Dun Laoghaire this week.

The event, which is supported by MS Ireland, is already booked out, but Mr Fitzpatrick hopes that the 20 people on a waiting list may also secure an opportunity later on".
