Hi everyone, believe it or not I run now! On purpose! I have signed up to do the Ratoath half marathon on 13/09/25 and what better inspiration than to try and raise some funds for the little cutie pie in the picture, not Zoe! Darragh.

Darragh (3) was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy at just 18 months old. DMD is a progressive muscle wasting condition, currently with no cure.

Darragh has severe muscle weakness but like most 3 year olds he doesn’t let that stop him.

Darraghs Mum, Zoe is a dear friend of mine who has spent her career nursing sick children and adults with empathy and compassion. Zoe & Gordon work so hard for their three beautiful children so anything at all that I can raise here will go a long way towards equipment/ appointments or anything that Darragh needs at home. So I’m asking for any contribution you can spare no matter how small.

Thank you

Niamh
