Máire O’Connor fundraising for Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust C.L.G
In November 2023 my boyfriend Niall was diagnosed with Leukaemia while training for the Dublin Marathon. Unfortunately he passed away in August 2024 before ever getting the chance to complete his goal of running a marathon. Before Niall passed away he transferred his ticket to me in the hopes that I would run in his place. Last year I fulfilled that goal for him and ran the Dublin Marathon with Niall's friends to honour his memory and raise funds for the Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust. This year I am going to run the Berlin Marathon on the 21st of September. I am also going to run the Dublin Marathon on the 26th of October with Niall's friends. This will all be to raise money for the Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust. Niall would have been a candidate for a Bone Marrow Transplant and we were acutely aware of the amazing work that the BMLT does to support those who require Bone Marrow Transplants and their families. Any and all donations would be greatly appreciated and help to support the vital services that the BMLT offers.
