I’m excited (and a little nervous!) to be taking on my first ever Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 with Team Aviva, in support of the Alzheimer Society of Ireland. I’m really looking forward to the challenge… although I may question that decision halfway through the course. That said, I’m proud to be doing it for such an important cause. Alzheimer’s and dementia impact so many families including my own so I understand how difficult it can be and how important the right support is. The support this charity provides makes a real difference.  Training has begun (slowly) but knowing I’m running for something bigger will keep me going when it gets tough. If you’re able to donate, I’d hugely appreciate any amount you can spare, it will go directly towards helping those affected by Alzheimer’s and it will definitely help motivate me during training. Thanks so much for your support.
