Ben Thornton fundraising for Depaul Ireland
This year, I’m running the 2026 Dublin City Marathon after being inspired by a couple of friends who completed it last year. At the same time, being out on the streets to support that day was also a reminder of the homelessness crisis affecting so many people across Dublin and Ireland. It made me want to take on this challenge not just for myself, but for a cause that can make a real difference. That’s why I’m running in aid of Depaul - an organisation doing vital work to support people experiencing homelessness. If you’re in a position to donate, any contribution, big or small, would mean a huge amount and go towards a really important cause. Thank you for your support!
