Elaine Farrelly fundraising for National Breast Cancer Research Institute in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2024

Hi Everyone, I am running the Dublin City Marathon on October 27th to raise money for Breast Cancer Research and Awareness. I had signed up for the marathon only a couple of months ago as this is a cause very close to me and my family. Unfortunately BC has affected almost all of us - our Grandmothers, Mothers, Sisters, Aunties, Neices, Family and Friends so at the time I wanted to do something to help raise awareness and much needed funds towards research and treatments which will improve the options and outcomes for breast cancer patients. Sadly my beautiful sister Annemarie passed away recently from metastatic breast cancer and I will now be running the marathon in her memory ❤️ Something I never would have thought I would be doing when I first signed up but will continue with to raise funds in her memory 🩷 Any donation, share or support is really appreciated, Thanks Elaine x

Owner messages:

Hi Everyone just wanted to say thank you so much for all the generation donations, the target was 2, 000 and 10, 965 euro was raised overall 😊 All for a great cause in Annemarie's memory, thank you so much ❤️
