4 1/2 Marathons in 4 Days for Kerri

Donation protected

A few weeks ago my 9 year old daughter Roisin came home from school with the news:
"Kerri's cancer is back".   
As a parent nothing prepares you for times like this.   I have known Kerri since herself and Roisin started in junior infants in Mary Mother of Hope in Clonee.  Kerri joined the school a few weeks after the rest of the class as she was recovering from a previous fight with Leukemia.  From the first day we met her, she was one of the friendliest children you could meet.   She is always laughing and having fun with the rest of the class and is a great friend to Roisin. It is heart breaking that her Leukemia is now back for a 3rd time. 

Kerri's parents Anita and Paul are with her night and day.  Its only when you see Kerri's parents and the other parents in the ward that you realise how hard life is when your child is fighting cancer.   Trying to juggle everything so you can be with them all the time. 

We want to raise funds for Kerri's family so they spend as much time as possible with her. 
It would also be great if there was enough for them to go somewhere special with Kerri and her little sister.  Clonee,  where we live, is a close community and I hope we can come together to help Kerri and her family in their time of need.   

In order to raise funds for the family, I have decided to take on the Extreme North Challenge from Thur 16th – Sun 19th August 2018 .   The race is 4 half marathons over in 4 days.  (I don't think I'll be fit enough for the 4 full marathons challenge.)   
I have already signed up for the Rock n Roll half marathon the Sunday before  so I will actually be running 5 half Marathons in 8 days.  

I will be covering the cost of all entry fees and accommodation myself so any money raised will be going direct to Kerri's family.  

Thank you for any donation you can give.
