Über den Autor
Alan Corcoran is a charity fundraising Irish adventure athlete. Competing as an Irish international track and field athlete as a juvenile, he switched to ultra-endurance at the age of twenty when his dad, Milo, suffered a stroke. Alan has since fundraised ¿45,000 for stroke and cancer charities through his adventure challenges. He became the first to run a lap of Ireland - 35 marathons in 35 consecutive days - and the first to swim the length of Ireland - a 500-kilometre sea swim. Corcoran has written a multi-award-winning book ('Marathon Man') and directed a feature-length documentary film ('Unsinkable') about these two challenges.
