As you are probably aware, my wife Ciara was diagnosed with rare salivary gland cancer. Unfortunately, the cancer has reached a point where it is no longer treatable, so she is now receiving end-of-life care in Blackrock Hospice. The team in the Hospice have been absolutely amazing for Ciara, myself and our two children, (William and Genevieve). I would love to give a little back by raising some money on their behalf. Therefore, I’ll be running the Dublin City Marathon in October of this year, with all proceeds going directly to Our Lady’s Hospice and Care Services. We are aiming for €3k, but I’m hoping we can do a little better with your support. Thank you, Simon
