Dublin Marathon ‘25 - in Memory of Barry

Hi all,

In the last few weeks I lost my beloved brother Barry at age 41. He loved fitness and exercise, he was a big influence for me when getting interested in running, and was always so supportive and encouraging. I am completing the Dublin Marathon this year in his memory and honour. Having missed the training block, I considered pulling out but have decided to go ahead in the hopes of raising some funds for the wonderful hospice in Hamburg, Germany that looked after him and all of us so well in his final weeks, Hamburger Hospiz am Deich, so they can continue their good work and support other families who find themselves in this unfortunate situation.

I know times are tight for many, but if you have any spare few euros, I would really appreciate your sponsorship for this worthy cause (bear in mind I may be crawling over the finish line on October 26th ). Every euro raised will go directly to the Hospice so that they can continue their vital work.

Thank you
