Run under 2:50, raise over €2,500

Why I'm Running

On September 27th, 2026 – exactly 11 months from the launch of this page – I'll be running the Berlin Marathon, my first Marathon Major.

I'm hoping to finish with a strong Personal Record of sub 2:50, while also raising over €2,500 for the Irish Cancer Society, an organization that provides vital support, research, and care for those affected by cancer across Ireland.

Cancer has touched the lives of so many people, and in particular I want to run this marathon in memory of my cousin Daragh, who sadly passed away in 2024.

Over the next 11 months, I'll be documenting my training journey, sharing challenges, and building towards race day. I hope you'll follow along and consider supporting this important cause.

Given my penchant for social media, there'll be a few Stories and Reels shared along the way too. Hope ye enjoy!
