Ciara Mulgrew fundraising for British Heart Foundation in Phoenix Energy Belfast City Half Marathon 2026
Hi everyone!!! My name is Ciara and I am running the Belfast half marathon in memory of my Papa. The man, the myth, the legend Joseph Peake (my Papa) was a fanatic marathon runner. He ran for most of his life until he had his first heart attack at 40 and a second one later in life. He passed away during Covid and it feels like the right time to commentate his life with the community, which our family didn’t get to do because of COVID. I am running this race to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. It is an excellent caused that has helped so many people
