Dublin 2 Donegal
After the tough decision to postpone their original dates for Dublin2donegal, we are delighted that on October 25th - 31st, Barry, Dave, Eamon and Eoin, will take to the roads running 7 half marathons in 7 days from Dublin2donegal!
Their story began in 2016 when they ran Dublin City Marathon and an initial €5,000 was raised in aid of Make-A-Wish.
Three years and 9 marathons between them later, they have raised over an amazing €30,000 to help Make-A-Wish Ireland grant wishes in Séimí Brennan’s name.
During lockdown they held a 'Séimí’s Virtual 5k' event, and thanks to the power of Séimí, their fundraising total now amazingly stands just shy of €22,000!
Training and planning is back in full flow, and we'd like to wish the lads the very best of luck in October.
You can donate to help them on their journey HERE
