Rand Al-Najim fundraising for Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026

Second marathon of 2026! 🏃‍♀️💙 I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 — this time for something much bigger than myself. As a physiotherapist, I’ve had the privilege of supporting patients living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), and I’ve seen first-hand the enormous impact this condition can have — not only on the person living with it, but on their families and loved ones too. Running the Dublin Marathon in support of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is therefore incredibly meaningful to me. It’s an opportunity to turn every kilometre into something positive by raising both awareness and vital funds for an amazing cause. Your support — whether it’s a donation, sharing my fundraiser, or simply cheering me on — genuinely means more than words can say. 42.2 km. One step at a time. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. 💙 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🫶
