On a cold (but thankfully dry) day, we managed to complete the Dublin marathon on 29th October. Attached is a photo in the pub about 2 hours afterwards when we were celebrating with a pint of guinness (of course..) and still wearing our medals !

Needless to say, the atmosphere was amazing and was helped along by fantastic supporters and also with the thought of your sponsorship - thanks a lot !

Our chosen charity is the Kingsley School Association, charity no 292045, a special needs school, which our youngest niece, Natalya (that's her, top left corner!), attends. The school caters for a broad range of needs including complex medical, autism, communication and different levels of learning disability. Like most schools of this nature, their ability to improve the quality of lives of their pupils (some of which are very ill) depends on funding and they simply do not get enough from the public purse.
