Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I was due to Run The Berlin Marathon on Sunday 27th September 2020, my 2nd World Major Marathon on behalf of Southern Area Hospice Services, having previously completed the Virgin Money London Marathon back in 2018.
Unfortunately this has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. However on the weekend it was due to take place I will be running my own marathon , starting in Rostrevor at the monument , covering probably most of my mileage in the grounds of Kilbroney park, then up in to Burren to cover plenty of ground via Moygannon and finishing with a route in Warrenpoint , finishing off on the not so flat bridal Lonan. This will be in aid of Southern Area Hospice to raise Money for this great charity, who , like many charities, have taken a large financial hit during this pandemic and are in desperate need of funds.
As fundraising events unfortunately had to be cancelled , such as a quiz night and a coffee morning, I had to think outside the box , so I completed a Runfar 100 mile virtual challenge back in may , and shaved my head back in June while consistently sharing my page on social media. I decided to take a break from fundraising for a few weeks , which then turned into almost 2 months. All of a sudden , my marathon is a few weeks away & it’s time to restart the fundraising once again as i train and prepare to run my own marathon around Rostrevor, Burren and Warrenpoint.
