Summary
An Ennis man is preparing to undertake what he believes will be a first-of-its-kind challenge on Ireland's longest river, all in memory of his late wife. This August, Trevor Murphy plans to paddle the entire navigable length of the River Shannon — a remarkable 234-kilometre journey from County Cavan to Limerick City — on a stand-up paddleboard. Trevor is taking on the challenge in memory of his wife Emma, a Clarecastle native and mother of their three children, who sadly passed away in January 2025 following a courageous battle with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The fundraiser will support breast cancer research and celebrate Emma's life, courage and legacy. Trevor Murphy joined Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus.
