Story

Hi friends.

First off thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

So after the madness of the dance floor earlier in the year, I've decided to take on the streets of Dublin for the Irish Life Dublin City Marathon 2023. I'm absolutely buzzing for it.

During my time on DWTS, Emily Barker and I paid a visit to Barretstown and we were blown away by the work they do. There's more information on the work they do below, but if you were in a position to donate absolutely anything at all, I can assure you it's going to an amazing cause.

Thank you so much friends xx
