Grace Carroll fundraising for Family Carers Ireland

This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 — which, if you know me at all, you’ll know is no small undertaking 😅 I am _not_ a runner. Big challenge. I’m doing it for Family Carers Ireland, a charity that’s very close to my heart. Through my work, I see how almost all of my clients rely on their family members as their primary carers — and how crucial the support of Family Carers Ireland is for those families who are quietly carrying so much. I need to raise €750 by May, so if you're in a position to donate €5 or €10, I would be hugely grateful. Closer to the marathon, I’ll host a fundraising event - potentially a rough & ready coffee morning / picnic on the foundations of my future house (v chic - bring a folding chair). (TBC !!). Thank you for any support - whether that’s financial, mental, or cheering me on along the sidelines. Feel free to follow the trials & tribulations on Strava… kudos will be well received!
