Run 26.2 Miles in March

🌟 I need your support! 🌟

I’m taking on 26 miles this March in support of the Irish Cancer Society, in loving memory of my mum, who we lost in 2024 after a brave three year battle with breast cancer. 

Last year my sister swam to honor her through Cancer Care West, and this is my small way of continuing that tribute.
Every step I run is for her, and for the families facing this difficult journey today. 
Your support will help fund vital research and provide real support to those who need it most. Thank you for helping me make every mile count. 💗

A small update 🏃🏻‍♂️‍➡️

Thursday 19th Mar

I just wanted to share a quick update on my running journey and say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me so far.

At the moment, I’ve completed 32.17 km out of my 43 km goal, and I’m really hoping to have the full 43 km achieved very soon. Every step has been made easier knowing I have such incredible support behind me.

To all my friends and family who have donated, thank you. It’s honestly been overwhelming (in the best way) to see so much kindness and encouragement. It truly means more than I can put into words, and it keeps me motivated to keep running and keep raising.

Last week, my friend Niall and I also had the chance to play a gig in support of Cancer Care West, which was a really special experience. We’re looking forward to doing it again next month, this time in support of the Marie Keating Foundation. Being able to give back in some way to those affected by cancer, and their families, is incredibly rewarding.

I’ll keep pushing forward with the running and the fundraising, and I’m so grateful to have you all with me on this journey.

Thank you again for everything.
