About this site

First of all, thanks for visiting. Both my grandparents struggled against dementia and Alzheimer's through their later life, until they both died from the condition.

This blog is about my training and fundraising for the Paris Marathon, on April 6th, which I'll be running in their memory and in aid of the Alzheimer's Society.

Dublin Marathon 2008

Posted in Dublin Marathon, marathon

Just minutes after completing the Dublin Marathon 2008

Just a quick note to say that I successfully completed the Dublin Marathon 2008 on Monday in a PB-smashing time of 5h:27m:47s.

I’ll be posting a fuller account later. In the meantime, I’d just like to say thank you to everyone who supported me and gave generously. If you haven’t donated, you’re not too late – my justgiving.com fundraising page will be accepting donations right up until the end of January next year.

Congrats. I did my first Marathon on Monday running for Alzheimer’s Ireland. It was one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life I recommend it to anyone. Really fantastic what a great day. Well done.
