Story

Until about 2 years ago I knew very little about Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin. I didn't know exactly what they do, didn't know exactly what they're for. It wasn’t until my good friend and club mate Tom Harrold was training for New York Marathon 2017, until I was told about his youngest son Danny. Danny is a lovely and lively 10 year old boy. There was a time he was very ill and today he is how he is only because of amazing people in Crumlin. CMRF Crumlin are committed to
saving young lives, improving the quality of life for sick children, and
providing extraordinary care so as to give all little patients the best
possible outcomes. Tom ran the New York marathon in 2017 on Danny's behalf. In early 2018 Tom asked me would I join Team Crumlin’s New York Marathon Challenge Team 2019 with him and many more amazing people that fundraise for the Children's Hospital and run a whole 26.2 miles for the sick little ones. I have done a good few marathons to this day, but none of them 
so special. It is special because it is not for myself, it is special because it has a meaning, because it's for a good cause and because I am honoured to get to run the worlds largest marathon with Tom on behalf of Danny and other sick children. Your donation will help improve the quality of life for children living with childhood illnesses, increase survival rates and bring these little ones the brighter days they so deserve. All donations very much appreciated. Thank You!!



Airijos lietuvė į Niujorką vardan Krumlino vaikų ligoninės


Beveik prieš 2 metus sužinojau kas iš tiesų yra Krumlino vaikų ligoninė, kam ji skirta, kuo gydo ir panašiai. Tai – didžiausia vaikų, sergančių onkologinėmis ligomis, gydymo įstaiga Airijoje. Joje pabuvojo ir mano bičiulio Tomo jaunėlis sūnus Danny. Kai berniukas buvo vos kūdikėlis, labai sunkiai sirgo, bet šiai dienai jis yra nuostabus ir guvus 10-metis. Visa tai tik Krumlino ligoninės gydytojų ir viso nuostabaus personalo dėka.
2017 Tomas bėgo Niujorko maratone už savo sūnų, už Danny. Grįžęs manęs paklausė ar norėčiau tapti Krumlino komandos dalimi 2019. Net nedvejodama sutikau. Jaučiuosi labai dėkinga už suteiktą galimybę įprasminti 42-iejų kilometrų bėgimą Niujorke. Nepaslaptis, kad esu įveikus ne vieną ir ne du maratonus, bet šitas ypatingas. Ypatingas tuo, jog bėgsiu ne sau, ne laikui, bet už sergančius vaikučius. Kiekvienas kilometras, kiekvienas žingsnis - už kiekvieną mažylį, kurių gali būti net apie 25 000 per metus. Skaičiai kalba patys už save.
Visos surinktos lėšos keliaus tiesiai į ligoninės krepšelį mažyliams, kuriems reikia rytojaus. Jūs taip pat galite jiems padėti. Ačiū jums labai už gerą širdį.
