Elaine Needham fundraising for Epilepsy Ireland
Hi all, Firstly thank you for clicking on the link and making it this far! For those of you who do not know me, my name is Elaine Needham and I will be running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon on 26th October 2025, while raising money for Epilepsy Ireland. My little boy Cole, now 5, was diagnosed with a rare genetic epilepsy when he was 5 months old. I am delighted to raise awareness and much needed funds for this cause. So, to achieve this I have set myself the challenge of running my first marathon, Every cent raised will go straight to Epilepsy Ireland and any donations big or small will be greatly appreciated. You can donate by clicking the donate button below. Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. Elaine
