I'm taking on the Dublin City Half Marathon this year, not just as a personal challenge, but to support a cause that truly matters. I’ll be running in aid of Purple House Cancer Support, an incredible organisation that provides vital help, comfort, and community to people affected by cancer. This journey is about more than just crossing the finish line. Every mile represents the strength of those facing cancer, the families supporting them, and the compassion of those who make care and recovery possible. Training hasn’t always been easy, but knowing that each step can make a difference keeps me going. Purple House offers essential services like counselling, support groups, and wellness programmes—giving people a place to turn during some of life’s toughest moments. By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping ensure that no one has to face cancer alone. Any donation, big or small, will go a long way in supporting this amazing work. Thank you so much for being part of this journey with me.
