Hi, I'm Caroline and I'm running my first (and very possibly last) marathon in Dublin next Sunday 26th October. I have clocked up the miles over the past few months, and hopefully have done enough to get me over the finish line.

One week to go, so I've decided to raise some much needed funds for two worthy charities.

I would like to fundraise for the Marie Keating Foundation who work to reduce the impact of cancer in Ireland through education, awareness, and support services for those affected by the disease.

In preparation for the marathon, I joined Esker Running Group in March and would not be doing this without their help & support. This year, Esker Running Group is fundraising for Our Lady's Hospice and Care Service in Harold's Cross. They provide care and support to patients and families when they need it most.

If you’re able to support my marathon challenge, any donation at all would be amazing and will make a real difference. Every euro raised will be split 50/50 between my two chosen charities, helping them continue their fantastic work. Thank you for your kindness and support!
