Darragh Connolly fundraising for Epilepsy Ireland

This October, I’ll be taking on the challenge of the Dublin Marathon to raise funds for Epilepsy Ireland — an organisation very close to my heart. I’m running in support of my cousin and to help raise awareness of epilepsy and the impact it has on so many individuals and families every day. Epilepsy Ireland provides invaluable support, information, and advocacy for people living with epilepsy, and I want to do my part to give something back. As part of my fitness journey, taking on the Dublin Marathon is something that means a lot to me personally. Training for and running a marathon will be a huge challenge, both physically and mentally, but it’s something I’m really passionate about. Pushing myself outside my comfort zone while supporting such an important cause. Any donation, no matter how small, would mean so much and will go towards supporting the incredible work of Epilepsy Ireland🙌.
