In October 2026, I will be running the Dublin City Marathon in memory of my brother, Jonathan. Jonny tragically lost his life in an accident over the October Bank Holiday weekend in 2000. He was just 16 years old. No family should ever have to experience such devastating loss, yet for ours, that weekend changed everything forever. This year marks 26 years since we lost him. On that same October Bank Holiday weekend, I will run one mile for every year that Jonny has been gone,26 miles in total, to honour his life, keep his memory alive, and support a cause that helps families like ours. I am proud to be fundraising for the Irish Road Victims' Association (IRVA). When Jonny died, this charity did not yet exist. Since then, it has become a vital source of support, advocacy, and compassion for families whose lives have been shattered by road tragedies. If you are able to donate, no matter how big or small, I would be incredibly grateful. Every contribution will help the IRVA continue supporting bereaved families, advocating for road victims, and campaigning for safer roads. Twenty-six years may have passed, but Jonny is never forgotten. This marathon is for him. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support.
