Olivia McIlmail, Ellen Butler, Conal Maguire, Aoife Duffy and Dylan Cunningham fundraising for Air Ambulance NI in Phoenix Energy Belfast City Marathon 2026

In 2024, my dad suffered a serious accident that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. Thanks to the incredible speed, skill and compassion of Air Ambulance NI, he received the emergency care he needed and is now making a good recovery. To give something back, I’m taking part in the Belfast City Marathon Relay, with the help of my friends Ellen, Conal, Aoife and Dylan, to raise funds for Air Ambulance NI. Their life-saving service depends on public support to help keep their helicopters flying and their medical teams ready for anyone who needs them. Every donation, big or small, helps save lives. Thank you so much for supporting a cause that means the world to me and my family. If you’d like to help even more, please share this page with your friends and family! You can use the social sharing buttons below to spread the word on Facebook, Twitter, or WhatsApp. Together, we can make this marathon count for something truly special. Thank you again for your amazing support!
