Marathon in a Month 2022 · 1 July 2022 to 31 July 2022 ·

This July we are calling on YOU to complete a Marathon in a Month! You can walk, run or jog it, at your own speed and in your own time, but the main thing is you CAN do it, you CAN complete a marathon!

Story

I am taking part in Marathon in a Month this July to help support the Irish Cancer Society and the 44,000 Irish people (including me) who each year hear the words "you have cancer".

Those words were said to me on Monday 28th March 2022...bowel cancer that spread to my liver. Two days later, I had surgery to remove the tumour in my bowel, pelvic area and lymph nodes and lucky for me, I didn't need a stoma bag(small win)

6th May, I started chemo which is tough because it is 3 days of chemo every 2 weeks. I shall get round no 5 and no 6 in July.

I am hoping in August to get the positive news that the chemo has worked and the fab medical team in the Mater can operate on my liver to remove the other tumours. After that battle, further chemo.

I celebrate little wins during this journey and I am taking one day and one week at a time with this battle. Still loving ice cream during this time😀

I have set up a virtual collection page to raise vital funds. Now more than ever, cancer patients (like me) need your support.

Funds raised are used across the country and your kind donations will ensure the Irish Cancer Society can continue to provide free services, such as the Freephone Support Line, Night Nursing Service, counselling, and so much more.

Together we can ensure that no one has to go through cancer alone.

My goal (while on chemo) is to walk at least 42km in a month but hoping to do more...but I will keep ya updated at least once a week on Instagram and Facebook....how can you help me?
1.Please donate (if you can)
2. Join me on one of my walks (I do love a company and good jokes)
3. Suggest some gentle nice walks around Dublin

Thanks for all the support and the kinds messages that I have received over the last few months. I really appreciate every single message. X

Thanks for reading this page.
