Make-A-Wish is looking for fitness enthusiasts around the country to take part in the SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon and put themselves through the ultimate challenge to support brave children who are battling life-threatening medical conditions such as cancer, cystic fibrosis and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
