This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 for a cause that is incredibly close to my heart. Our eldest daughter, Grace, avails of services at LauraLynn, who support children with disabilities through their Hazel House facility, as well as providing specialist palliative care and support for children with life-limiting conditions. LauraLynn has provided invaluable support to Grace and to our entire family. Their care, guidance and dedication have made a real difference in our lives, and this marathon is my way of giving something back. The 26.2 miles ahead will be a challenge, but it is nothing compared to the challenges faced every day by the children and families supported by LauraLynn. Every mile I run will be in recognition of the incredible impact they have had on Grace and so many other families. I’m not just running to cross a finish line. I’m running to help LauraLynn continue its life-changing work for children and families who rely on their support. If you’re able to support my fundraising efforts, whether by making a donation, sharing this page, or simply cheering me on, I would be hugely grateful. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will help make a difference. Every mile matters. Every donation helps. Thank you for supporting my marathon journey and, most importantly, a charity that means so much to our family. ❤️
