Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am running the 2012 Dublin Marathon in aid of the Northern Ireland's Children to Lapland Trust. I met Jack Rodgers (Chairman NICLT) in March 2012 and I was touched by the work of the charity and I decided to try and help raise as much money as I can. So please support me!

The aim of the Northern Ireland’s Children To Lapland Trust is to fulfil the dreams of terminally ill, long term ill and deserving children, by taking them to see Santa at his home in Lapland. We are a Northern Irish charity which helps children throughout our Province, by giving them aday they and their families will never forget. Many of the children endure the burden of illness throughout their entire lives – a lifetime which is sadly too short. The children who travel with us are nominated by their hospitals and doctors, who see for themselves the kids’ excitement grow as the day approaches. I hope this year even more children will benefit and that many individuals and companies will support us in our fund raising efforts” (Jack Rodgers, Chairman)
