Hey, thanks for visiting my fundraising page. My name is Philip Howard and on the 10th of July, I will attempt to run 5 marathons in 5 days.

The challenge will start in Bundoran on Monday 10th of July, and end in Sandymount in Dublin on Friday 14th July. The total distance is about 228km which is about 45 km a day.

As a home school liaison teacher working in two primary schools in inner city Dublin, I regularly work with families who are struggling to pay the bills, put food on the table and give their children the opportunities many of us take for granted.

Poverty is a very real existance for families in every corner of Ireland.

St Vincent De Paul support families by providing financial and personal support on a range of issues. Hopefully I can raise a few euros to support their cause.

I am really looking forward to this challenge and seeing how the body fares out trying to complete multiple marathons on consecutive days. I have run a few marathons before but have never done anything like this so it shall be a huge leap into the unknown.

Please donate a few euros if you have them to spare but also I would be delighted if some people were able to join me for a few kilometres along the way.

Here is the route as it stands at the moment!

Monday July 10th Bundoran to Drumkeeran 44km

Tuesday July 11th Drumkeeran to Dromod 42km

Wednesday July 12th Dromod to Castlepollard 51km

Thursday July 13th Castlepollard to Trim 41km

Friday July 14th Trim to Sandymount 49km
