This year, I am running the 2026 Dublin Marathon in aid of The Alzheimer Society of Ireland! Since beginning to run Half Marathon's over the last few years, it has always been a goal of mine to work towards completing a full marathon. The 2026 Dublin Marathon will fall on Sunday October 25th, one day before my 30th birthday, so I figured what better way to celebrate than to make the trip home from NYC to complete this goal before my 30th with a day to spare! All while supporting a foundation that plays a part in nearly all of our lives in some way. Alzheimer's is a disease that has affected my family directly in many ways, and the work that this foundation does to support patients and their families made it an easy choice for me to choose as the charity I wanted to run for. I will be completing a number of races and training challenges throughout the year to work towards this fundraising goal, and would be so appreciative of any support whatsoever. Whether that be in the form of any donation big or small, or the resharing of my fundraising page or even any promotion via social media. Any support in any form is greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hitting this goal and celebrating in style at the finish line! Cheers, Jack.
