Irish international among those who go to Hell and Back for ‘Little Warriors'
Shauna McGann-Hanlon, who played at the Cerebral Palsy World Cup for the Irish football team, was part of a group of about 20 people who raised funds for Little Warriors by taking on the gruelling 'Hell and Back' challenge in Kilruddery

When an event describes itself – nay, names itself – Hell and Back, suffice to say it's not for the faint of heart.
Beautiful Kilruddery Estate recently took on an altogether less-pleasant guise for a very limited time, providing the setting for a seven-kilometre course that pushes participants to their physical – and mental – limits. Steep forest climbs, muddy bog crossings, icy lake plunges, and more besides mightn't literally bring you to Hell and Back – but it's as close as you'll get until St Peter condemns you.
