My name is Sinéad O'Sullivan and I am running the Dublin Marathon in aid of the RNLI as living in a coastal community we see the importance of the work the RNLI carry out. Any donations are greatly appreciated!

The RNLI is a charity run entirely on people's donations and good will and I have huge respect for anyone who supports this worthy cause. I have decided to undertake a training programme to run this year's Dublin City Marathon to fundraise for the RNLI.

Any donation would be hugely appreciated and thank you in advance for your support.

Best wishes

Sinéad

Too many people are still drowning. More than ever we need the RNLI's help. As a charity, the RNLI depends on our donations so it can go on saving lives and keeping us and our loved ones safe. RNLI lifesavers are our lifeline. They are the lifeboat crews who provide 24-hour search and rescue right around the UK and Ireland. And the RNLI safety teams and educators working tirelessly to stop people getting into trouble in the first place.

Our RNLI lifeboats in Ireland protect hundreds of communities through our 24-hour search and rescue service. They rely on the safest, most reliable lifeboats and modern stations to launch from. Thank you for your support which enables them to continue doing their lifesaving work.
