Erica Russell fundraising for Epilepsy Ireland in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2025
This October, I’m running the Dublin Marathon in aid of Epilepsy Ireland, a charity that provides essential support, education, and advocacy for people living with epilepsy, while also funding vital research into this often misunderstood condition. Particularly, this run is a small way of honouring the memory of my cousin Rebecca, who passed away in 2018 at just 23, after a seizure linked to her epilepsy. Rebecca was kind, full of life, and is deeply missed by everyone who knew her. Thanks so much for the support 💜
