This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 for Muscular Dystrophy. I have a cousin who has muscular dystrophy and I want to support him in every aspect of everyday life. The muscular dystrophies are a group of rare conditions that gradually cause muscles to weaken and waste. Sometimes you may see or hear them being talked about as neuromuscular conditions, or as a muscle wasting and weakening condition. To find out more about Muscular Dystropy visit https://www.mdi.ie/ Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on — means more than words can say. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support.
