On Sunday 26th October 2025 I'm undertaking the exciting challenge of running my first ever marathon in the Dublin City Marathon! I'm fundraising for an organisation extremely close to my heart - Epilepsy Ireland. I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2015 and although I've been seizure free for several years, it was a tough journey to get here. Those closest to me know it's a daily commitment to ensure I manage my epilepsy correctly - daily medication, adequate sleep and limited alcohol. I'm incredibly lucky to have such supportive family & friends who understand that although I appear extremely active and healthy, my symptoms can appear at any stage and epilepsy is often an invisible condition. I've always enjoyed running, and after successfully giving birth to a baby boy last September, I set myself the goal of running a marathon to raise funds for Epilepsy Ireland, who have provided invaluable support and resources over the years—particularly during my pregnancy. Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page and any donation you can make, no matter how small would be greatly appreciated :) Míle Buíochas, Ciara
