Michael Doherty Turas fundraising for Foyle Hospice in Waterford Viking Marathon 2026

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page! I am retiring on the 27th March and have set my self some 'healthy' goals to keep me active starting with this half marathon - can't really believe I'm doing this lol! I will have been in Seagate Technology, Derry for 25 years the month I retire. Seagate and Derry has been good to me and many others, providing people in Derry and Donegal with more than 1600 high quality jobs even as we speak. We have had a strong partnership with the Foyle Hospice over the years and I'd like to dedicate this last event to them as I'll no doubt be doing things again in the future for Donegal charities which have also been generously supported by the people of Derry in the past - but I'm asking for your support on this one, this time please... And if you see me out running along the road over the next few months give me a 'toot' as you go by, because I can assure you things out there are not as easy as they used to be lol I would really appreciate your support folks by way of a donation of any size as it all adds up. Thank you all in advance! Cheers Michael
