Story
2 years after I started running, barely able to manage 120m, I'm running my first marathon. It was last year when I decided run the Dublin Marathon, 2015 and have been training since this April (and preparing for training since last summer)! I want to do it for the personal challenge, to test my discipline and determination; to see how far I can go. I'm not a fast runner, the marathon will take me over 6 hours to complete, but I am looking forward to the challenge and the achievement!
I am also taking the opportunity to fundraise for the Dublin Simon Community in support of the very worthy things they do to help the homeless in my city. Your support, financial and personal, is very much appreciated.
