In August of this year I will be attempting to break the Irish record for the fastest marathon time on an indoor rower. This is my first marathon attempt of anykind and will be both mentally and physically demanding. My reasons for doing this are twofold - The first being the mental and physical challenge associated with endurance events, and the second being to give something back by raising funds for Pieta House who work to help those affected by suicide or self-harm. My hope is to raise €1000 and any funds would be greatly appreciated and go to a good cause. Thank you.
