Eoin Dowley fundraising for Alzheimer Society of Ireland in Waterford Viking Marathon 2026

​This June, I’m running the Viking half marathon for a cause that is deeply personal to me. Having watched my grandparents face the challenges of Alzheimer’s and dementia, I’ve seen first hand how these conditions impact not just the individual, but the entire family. ​I am running these 21 kilometers to honor their strength and to raise funds that will hopefully spare other families from the same heartbreak. Every donation helps fund the research and support services needed to fight this disease. Thank you for standing with me and my family. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Your support is really appreciated. If you can help me to promote this page I would greatly appreciate it. You can share my page on any social media using the social sharing sections. Thanks again!
