Is mise Máirtín Ó Muilleoir agus tá mé i m'fhoilsitheoir ar an Irish Echo i Nua Eabharc. Le tamall anuas tá cúrsaí géarchéim na ndaoine gan dídean ag dul in olcas. Mar sin de, chinn mé Maratón Feirste a rith le cuidiú beag a thabhairt d'iarrachtaí WIN NYC, carthanachta atá ag obair go dícheallach do dhaoine gan dídean.

I am Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, Belfast booster and publisher of the Irish Echo in New York. Since the Covid storm rolled in, I have seen the homeless crisis worsen in the Big Apple so I decided to run the Belfast Marathon on 1 May for the inspirational charity WIN NYC which supports and empowers homeless families. With your help, I hope we can make a modest contribution to their coffers. I have chipped in to get this fundraiser off and running.

In the pic, that's my running mentor Jamesie, a work of art on the move, and I am sporting my WIN tee-shirt which I wore on my last marathon outing for WIN back in 2016 in New York.

Míle buíochas.
