World champion rower Kenny McDonald is set to trade his oars for the runway as he makes his debut on the catwalk at the Shannon Rowing Club Fashion Show on Thursday, February 20 in The Strand Hotel.
The Limerick-born garda and champion rower is no stranger to fundraising challenges, both in out and out of the water, having climbed Ireland’s highest mountain, Carrauntoohil, in August 2020 while carrying a four-stone rowing machine on his back.
“I’ve spent most of my life competing on the water, but I love trying new fundraising initiatives and I’m excited to support Shannon Rowing Club in this way,” said Kenny McDonald.
