Hey everyone, I'll be *attempting* to run a 5km in the Calcutta Run 2017 in Blackhall Place on 20 May 2017.
The recipient charities are the Peter McVerry Trust, who support Dublin's homeless youths, and the Hope Foundation, who provide support to homeless children in Calcutta. All monies raised go directly to the recipient charities.
