We are all familiar with Temple St and some of us have had our kids in and out of it from time to time. The funds raised by the two of us will be of huge support to the hospital at a time when funding is still very tight.
But some of you may be less familiar with who Ken and Eoin are.
Ken and Eoin went to school together in Coolmine CS and have remained life long friends since, even though Ken went to live in the UK for years they managed to keep in touch. Now old, with Kids, they do anything...

But some of you may be less familiar with who Ken and Eoin are.
Ken and Eoin went to school together in Coolmine CS and have remained life long friends since, even though Ken went to live in the UK for years they managed to keep in touch. Now old, with Kids, they do anything to get out of the house and so London was perfect particularly when you improve the excuse by saying it is for Temple St.
Eoin, has 8 marathons under his belt. a few Dublins', a Connemara and a London. Alas the weight has crept up and the mileage has fallen down over the last few years and London will be his first marathon since 2015. You might have come across Eoin. He is the MD of Prosperous Financial, enough.ie and is also a regular on radio and TV talking all things personal finance.
Ken, the baby faced assasin, is much faster and fitter right than Eoin. He romped home in the Dublin marathon in 2017. However what he has in pace and sheer good looks he lacks in experience. He only has the one marathon under his belt and unlike Eoin he hasn't done London before, so will probabaly get lost. He is however a teacher so has loads of time to train!!
