At the September joint meeting of Youghal and Midleton councils it was decided to accord both Sean Buckley and James Colbert a civic reception. The two men were the creators of Endurance Challenge 2068 which raised money for breakthrough cancer. The challenge has seen two men, cycle through every county in Ireland, run in 4 consecutive marathons and swim 120km of the River Shannon, an incredible 2068km in 22 days. A date for the civic reception has yet to decided.
