Marathon for the McVerry Trust

Hello! On the 31st of October Cormac and Dermot will both be running a marathon in Phoenix Park to raise funds for the Peter McVerry Trust. We will be supported on the day by our housemates and aim to run the Marathon in a combined time of under seven hours. 

Peter McVerry Trust is a national housing and homeless charity committed to reducing homelessness. The charity provides services to younger people and vulnerable adults and offers pathways out of homelessness.

We've chosen to fundraise for Peter McVerry Trust as homelessness continues to be a very real fact of life for many people in Ireland. As of August 2020, 8702 people in Ireland were homeless or relying on emergency accommodation.  A third of these individuals in emergency accommodation were children. Peter McVerry Trust works primarily with younger people and helped 6,184 people across Ireland in 2019. We would be extremely grateful for any donation big or small which will go directly to this great cause.
