Who are we? A group of friends from different parts of the world, based mostly in Madrid but also Lisbon and Kinvara, the wild west of Ireland.
What are we doing? Running a double relay marathon. Heavy lockdown restrictions here in Madrid mean exercising outside is not permitted. For us, this only makes the challenge more interesting, and so will be running from the comfort of our own homes. The Lisbon and Kinvara contingent will be supporting us by also doing their part from home.
Why are we doing it? We are inspired by the work of Suirhaven, a cancer support centre in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, Ireland. The facility depends on the generosity of the community, as 100% of the funding to maintain these vital services, comes from donations and not from any governmental bodies or other stakeholders.
Suirhaven is community-based facility that provides solace, comfort and consolation to those suffering from cancer, and their family and friends.
The centre offers emotional support, practical help and information in a safe, positive and confidential environment.
