Cahir Healy 2000 for 2000 Marathon
Donation protected
2000 points for 2000 donations.
On Sunday May 17th, I will score 2000 points (1000 hurling 1000 football) and run a marathon in the process.
Update 26/4/20: The money raised will now benefit 3 great causes. DoitforDan, the Midlands regional hospital Portlaoise PPE appeal and the NHS. After consultation with the Do it for Dan fundraising committee. We have decided to cap the money I raise through this fundraiser at £7,500. £7,500 is going to Dan.Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to this in so many different ways. Thank you so much for helping Dan and his family. Words can’t describe how I feel. Any money now raised above £7,500 will be split evenly between the NHS and the Midlands Regional Hospital, Portlaoise PPE appeal. Please keep sharing and getting the message out there. Our frontline services are badly in need of support. Thank you once again for your kindness. I am truly humbled and can not thank you enough. The reason, I have decided to do this is for a special little man called Dan Donoher. Dan is the son of former Laois Footballers Niall and Aisling Donoher.
I first played with Niall in 1999 on a Laois u14 football team, I played alongisde Niall at every age group including senior. Dan's uncle Brendan Quigley was also a part of all those teams.
Niall and Aisling Donoher (nee Quigley) played with pride for Laois and their respective clubs down through the years. They have given great service to the GAA and now they need our support more than ever! Niall and Aisling and their son Dan are in a battle that no family should ever have to be in. Dan is suffering from a rare muscular disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1. Dan has recently just turned 1 and his life expectancy is barely beyond that. Dan and his parents need our help and support to raise $2.1 million dollars for him to receive the medical treatment he needs in America. The medical intervention needed is a cell infusion and is only available in the States.
Mindful and respectful of the restrictions currently in place. I have decided to use a rugby goals in a public park in Richmond UK to score 2000 points and run a marathon. I will have 20 sliothars and 20 Gaelic footballs. I will score 1000 hurling points from 45 metres and 1000 football points from 21 metres. As there are no nets I will be collecting all the balls myself and running a marathon (42km) in the process. If there are any remaining kilometres to run after I have scored 2000 points I will run the remaining distance. I will be adhering to all social distancing guidelines at all times.
I will be posting updates of my training for the challenge on my facebook page and here and the event will be streamed live.
Please get behind TEAM DAN and contribute what few euro you can. Every little helps! To date over €1, 000,000 has been raised but fundraising initiatives have been hampered by the Covid-19 pandemic and support is needed now, more than ever!
Lets DO IT FOR DAN
