Eddie Horgan fundraising for Cliona's Foundation in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026

‘Children close their ears to advice but open their eyes to example’ In 2026, I want to set an example to our boys that anything is possible! Not long after being born, we were told Axel wouldn’t see 3 or 4 years old and would never walk (now he runs and has just broke his femur)🙃 So to prove anything is possible, Axel will be doing the great limerick run full marathon on May 3rd (26.2 miles) the day after his 4th birthday party with me pushing him in his chair the whole way! I will be doing this for a charity that Axel isn’t a part of but is close to our hearts and we have seen the essential service they provide first hand ‘Clionas Foundation’ During our fundraising for Axel, we were blown away by the generosity of people we knew but also complete strangers so I really want to try give back some of that kindness! Here’s to a busy 2026! https://eventmaster.ie/fundraising/pages/EH50978175
