- He's a champion sportsman at the highest level - a Clare 'All Star', playing one of the world's fastest, most challenging sports - hurling. He's cycled 7,000 miles across a continent in 51 days. He's raised almost $1 million for cancer charities. He's Tony Griffin. Tony's compelling story is an inside account of ultra-competitive GAA hurling teams, of taking on new challenges, of the mental and physical strength required to train for and endure gruelling 120 mile daily cycles, and of the fallout that can result from destructive emotions of fear, obsession and grief over the death of a father. It's about testing yourself to the limit and coming out a changed man. Tony's account of four very unusual seasons in the life of a championship hurler is a personal testament to the struggle to overcome demons, to finding and following a purpose in life.
