A walk against cancer

DUBLIN: Pop star Ronan Keating, who walked the length of Ireland to raise money for cancer charities, completed the last of the 575 km on Sunday. "It was unbelievable," Keating told Sky TV news. There were "ups and downs and pains, but we got through it and we had a great time". Keating, formerly of the Irish pop group Boyzone, set out on May 17 from the Giant's Causeway on the north coast of Northern Ireland and reached the Old Head of Kinsale in County Cork, one of the Irish Republic's most southerly points. The trek raised more than 1,00,000 euros for cancer charities.
