Barry Twohig fundraising for Aoibheanns Pink Tie in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026

This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 for the incredible charity Aoibheanns pink tie. Unfortunately in January this year we received the call that no family wants. Our eldest boy Conor who is just 14 years old was diagnosed with leukaemia. Treatment is now going well. Those dark days were made a little brighter by the presence of Aoibheanns pink tie in our lives. For us they provide hotel accomodation in Dublin near to CHI Crumlin when we need it. This is a massive help at a time when sometimes it can be hard as a parent to think clearly. I want to take this opportunity to give back to the charity and raise much needed funds for families like ours. Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on — means more than words can say. Together, we can take every step a little further. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.
