My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are ambassadors for the Northern Ireland Children's Hospice, this year's official charity for the Deep River Rock Belfast City Marathon.
As marathon runners ourselves, we'll be working with Northern Ireland Children's Hospice to promote the Marathon and offer aspiring Marathoners tips on how to finish the race.
We are using this page to do our own fundraising for the charity.
We also have our own Marathon goals that we'll tell you about on this page.
UPDATE: Gladys and Marty ran the Rotterdam Marathon on 15 April, with Gladys clocking 2.43.46 and Marty - in a warmup for his pacing efforts in London and Belfast - timed 2.46.33. It was a somewhat disappointing race for Gladys, being off her personal best, but at least a respectable effort for her third marathon in less than six months. Marty will now pace the 3.00 runners this coming weekend in London, and two weeks after that at the Belfast City Marathon. Gladys plans to take part in the relay at the Belfast City Marathon, along with Judi Graham, Louise McNeill, Claire Prenter and Hannah Waugh. There are two new photos from Rotterdam, so check them out.
UPDATE: Gladys competed at the Houston Marathon on 15 January, running a personal best of 2.40.56. This was short of the Olympic A qualification standard of 2.37, but she can try again for the standard before the end of April. We'll keep you updated on her plans on this site. In the meantime, check out the three new photos from the race.
Marty has represented Ireland in international ultra running championships and is a past top ten finisher at the Belfast City Marathon.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.

Yesterday Marty once again paced the three-hour runners at the Belfast City Marathon. Gladys' Achilles was still too sore after the Rotterdam Marathon to take part in the Relay, but she helped out on Sunday at the marathon expo and in marshalling on the course on the day.
Gladys has come out of the Rotterdam Marathon a little worse for the wear - a cold and a sore Achilles - but that is probably to be expected after 3 marathons in 6 months. She still plans to run in the relay at the Belfast Marathon, so please continue to show your support!
We hope you have all been following our progress as we run multiple marathons for the Northern Ireland Children's hospice. Marty paced the three-hour runners in Sunday's London Marathon, and is preparing for pacing in Belfast in 2 weeks. Please donate and 'do it for the kids.'
