Team "Help Me Run Da!" (Colum, Megan & Jenny) fundraising for Foyle Hospice in Waterside Half Marathon 2026

We're Fun Fun Fundraising as a team of three taking on the Waterside Half Marathon to raise money for the Foyle Hospice. We are doing this in honour of Jenny and Colum's dad and Meg's dad-in-law, Rob, who was cared for by the incredible team at the Foyle Hospice earlier this year. Their compassion, kindness and support meant so much to our whole family during a really difficult time. So now it's our turn to help by raising funds for this amazing charity. Rob walked, ran and biked the same paths many times through the years and we know he would be shouting "keep 'er lit"! Three runners, one half marathon and varying levels of enthusiasm for running... God only knows how we will do but we will try our best 😂 (The Beach Boys will be keeping us going as we get around round get around!) Thank you for helping us reach our goal, wouldn't it be nice if we could raise a fantastic amount together!
