Mary OD fundraising for Her Sport Foundation in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2025

Super excited to help raise funds for HerSport this year running my first Dublin marathon HerSport has continually inspired me and so many others to continue to be passionate about sport and to be trailblazers within our communities. We still face barriers to sport whether that’s inclusion, support, sexism, bias so please donate to continue to break through these challenges. My own running journey comes from one of recovery from an eating disorder and is such a precious part of my life. I had a dream a ran a half marathon for the first time then started training for a marathon during Covid. I was addicted. I still struggled with eating and anxieties. Imposter syndrome within my life and a few other personal battles, but running gave me an outlet. This race will be for the girls who feel lost, or who are struggling. We are stronger than we think and can achieve amazing things!
