It may have been a moment of madness but I have signed up to run the Dublin Marathon, taking place on Sunday 30th October. This will be my first marathon (and maybe my last!).

I have been upping the miles each week... it's not easy and my legs hate me right now but I WILL get around all 26.2 miles!

I am running for St. Mary's Hospital, Phoenix Park Dublin. They provide a fantastic facility and rehabilitation care to older persons. They also provide help and respite to the affected families. Both my Granny and aunt have received the tremendous care from the staff here. Sadly, my Granny passed away here but in such difficult times the staff here are simply second to none. This hospice is publicly funded but the care and support they provide is just amazing.

Help support me in supporting them. I'd be grateful for whatever donation (£/€) you can make (no matter how small). St. Mary's is a fantastic local hospital that will really appreciate your generosity.

Thanks so much everyone for any donations and again I will get around all 26.2 miles :)
