I have decided to run the full Belfast Marathon again this year, I last did it in 2022 and realised just what a good opportunity it was to raise money for two local charities close to my heart. The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) and The People's Kitchen Belfast do tremendous work in our local communities and is a vital support for individuals and families suffering hardships. These charities are often the only lifeline for the most marginalised and vulnerable people in society. Without your kind donations they simply would not exist. Knowing that I am raising for such good causes will definitely spur me on to complete the Marathon. I am grateful to each and everyone of you for any donation you can make and if you are not in a position to help financially please share this page and awareness about these two charitable organisations. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Hugh Dougal
