Navan runner needs your vote today

A Navan man is one of six Irish finalists who could win a trip to Las Vegas to run a marathon there in November - and he is looking for your vote today to help him win.
If James McGarry garners enough votes in the ‘Rock ‘n’ Run Idol’ contest, he will scoop up a priceless prize package and be flown with a guest to Las Vegas to receive unparalleled VIP treatment at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon and Half Marathon on 13th November.   
There, they will experience running the Las Vegas Strip at night!
The winner will be determined by online voting and you can vote for James on this link http://www.runrocknroll.com/dublin/rock-idol/
James is an ordinary runner hoping to inspire others to do extra ordinary things through running.
He knew he had put on weight, but when he flew from Ireland to visit his sister in Canada and she snapped a picture of him pulling his suitcase at the airport, he got a huge reality check.
At 5 feet, 5 inches tall, he weighed 255 pounds. “I was like a barrel,” he said.
That was in October 2011. By January 2012, he began jogging to lose weight and today, James has lost 90 pounds. He weighs 165 pounds, has logged three marathons and is the walking/jogging/running/breathing example of how running can turn a person’s life around.
“Coming from where I was, when I could barely walk up stairs and was out of breath, to where I am now, I’m proud,” he said.
