Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Dublin Marathon on the 26th October 2009, I have decided to raise money for the Wessex Neurological Centre Trust in Southampton.

My reason for choosing this charity is because a colleague of mine has just recently lost a very close relative who sadly died at the age of 24, he was very grateful for the help and support of the Wessex Neurological Centre Trust during her stay there.

Tragedy can hit anyone at anytime I had a very close member of my family who has suffered cancer twice and we also received an enourmous amount of help and support from various charities and people, we were lucky and had a happy ending, it is not until you are faced with these circumstances do you realise how important this network of support is.

This is not my first marathon, I have already run the Jersey Marathon and the Mallorca Marathon in the past, I have a passion for excercise and do love running and I feel that putting my body through 4-5 hours of discomfort is nothing compared to what some people have to endure through their illness.

So please help my discomfort all the whorthwhile and donate to a very worthy cause, you never know when you may need their support!

Thanks

Donna
