This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 — for something bigger than myself - the Irish Kidney Association. Working with patients with Kidney Disease, I see first hand the great work done every day by the IKA to provide care and support for these patients and their families. 26.2 miles. That’s the distance between comfort and courage, between an ordinary day and a moment that could truly change lives. Every mile I run is a reminder of why I’m doing this — to make a real difference for those who need it most. It’s not just about crossing a finish line; it’s about showing up, pushing through, and turning effort into impact. I hope that I can highlight the importance (of this often silent) disease. Staying active is one way for everyone to help avoid or delay progression of kidney disease. Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on — means more than words can say. Together, we can take every step a little further. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
