On 27th April 2025 I will be running in the London Marathon for HCPT. It is 40 years since I ran in the Dublin City Marathon for IHCPT.

HCPT allow the opportunity of a life-changing week in Lourdes for children living with disabilities or going through hardships.

As a charity they believe that every child, of any religion or none, deserves childhood, full of God's gifts of love, friendship and joy.

They have ambitious goals to take over a 1000 of children in need to Lourdes next Easter. To do so they’ll have to provide about 10 chartered flights from different regions of the country, to book over 35 hotels in Lourdes to accommodate our groups, to arrange around 30 special coaches with lifts for wheelchairs for transfers and excursions during the holiday week. BUT they can't do this without our support!

Each £1075 will enable HCPT to take one more child to Lourdes at Easter 2025. Each childhood matters!
