Story

Anthony’s Derry Half Marathon for Marie Curie 💛

This September, Anthony will be taking on the Derry Half Marathon to raise much-needed funds for the amazing Marie Curie charity, in memory of someone very special to us, Ciaran Brolly.

Our bestie, Maria, sadly lost her precious Daddy, Ciaran, on 24th March this year following a short illness.

Ciaran and Una have been such a huge part of our lives for more than 20 years. They welcomed Anthony and me into their home, their family and countless family occasions, always with warmth, kindness and open arms. We feel incredibly lucky to have shared so many wonderful memories with them.

Marie Curie provides vital care and support to people living with terminal illness and their families, making a heartbreaking time that little bit easier. It feels very fitting to raise money for such a special charity in Ciaran’s memory.

If you are able to donate any amount, no matter how small, we would be incredibly grateful. Every single donation will help Anthony along those 13.1 miles and, most importantly, help support the incredible work of Marie Curie.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read our story and for supporting Anthony, Maria and our very special Ciaran. 💛

Forever loved, never forgotten. Ciaran Brolly. 🕊️
