My Story

Recently my partner's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and is now going through chemotherapy, we were lucky and grateful that this was discovered early with a mammogram, but was a huge shock for everyone close to her.

I'm taking part in the Dublin City Marathon for the National Breast Cancer Research Institute because I believe this charity is doing great work in this area, and would love to support them in their research, and help anyone at risk or diagnosed with breast cancer can ultimately recover faster.
