Brendan Sturgeon fundraising for Cancer Focus NI in Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon 2026

In 2019 my sister Christina and myself organised a collection of relay teams to compete in the Belfast City Marathon. We wanted to raise money for charity after our parents Margaret and Brendan passed away in 2015 and 2018. This has become an annual tradition, thanks to our incredible family & friends, and everyone else who has supported us along the way. Together we have raised an amazing £20,431 for Cancer Focus NI! Our brilliant teams are coming together once again to participate in the Belfast City Marathon on the 3rd May 2026, to run for a cause that has affected so many of our families and friends lives. We would really appreciate any contribution you can make, no matter how small. Thank you for your amazing support! Cheers, Brendy Huge thanks to Team 2026: Brenda, Caroline, Christina, Claire, Clare, Conor, Damien, Edd, Gav, Gerry, Joan, Louise, Page, Maeve, Maire, Mark, Michael, Niall, Patricia, Paul Michael, Rachel, Simon, Tavia and Thomas 🏃‍♀️❤️🏃
