On Sunday, 26th October 2025, I’ll be running the Dublin Marathon in memory of my incredible grandmother, Sheila Strong, who passed away on 18th January 2025. Sheila was the heart of our family—always dependable, kind, and full of love. She never missed a birthday, made the best scones in the country, and brought joy to every family gathering. Her presence was a constant source of comfort and strength, and she is deeply missed by all of us. In her final days, Mayo Roscommon Hospice provided Sheila and our family with the care and support we needed during an incredibly difficult time. Their palliative care services in the West of Ireland are compassionate, dignified, and deeply appreciated by so many families like ours. To honour her memory and give back to the people that helped us so much, I’m raising funds to support their work. Your donation will help ensure other families receive the same comfort and care we did. Whether big or small, your support means the world. Thank you for helping me run this marathon in Sheila’s memory 💚❤️
