Story
I'll be running the Causeway Coast Marathon on 23rd September to help raise money for my friend's son Liam McCallum. Liam was hit by a car in January when playing football outside his home in Liscolman, Co. Antrim.
The accident happened just a week before Liam's 10th birthday and he has been receiving treatment ever since at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast. The devastating accident has left Liam facing a long and difficult recovery & his family are trying to cope with this as well as the 120 mile round trip to the hospital.
The money I raise will go towards the cost of a hydro pool so some of Liam's treatment can be done at home.
Any donation you can offer will make a huge difference to Liam and to helping his family deal with the terrible situation.
About the event
The Causeway Coast Marathon is a full marathon (26.2 miles) run off road along the cliffs and coastline of North Antrim. Plenty of hills, hundreds of steps, beaches & cliffs - it will be a very tough challenge. This should give you the idea...

This is not my first marathon, as many of you know, but it's my first for 4 years and my first ever off road. Life has also ground training to a major halt for the last few years, but I really want to raise money for this cause and so it has called for a proper challenge.
