My Galway to Dublin run will be over 5 days (12th – 16th October) and will be 250km’s in total. It works out at 6 marathons in 5 days. It will take me through 7 counties (Galway, Roscommon, Westmeath, Offaly, Kildare, Meath and Dublin). I am fundraising for the Bumbleance charity. It is a children's ambulance service which provides stress-reducing journeys for children in state-of-the-art, safe and fun vehicles. My target is to raise €5,000 plus. I am encouraging people along the route to join me for some of the distance and have contacted running clubs, business’, colleges etc for support.

My Galway to Dublin run will be over 5 days (12th – 16th October) and will be 250km’s in total. It works out at 6 marathons in 5 days.

The company I work for, Europcar, has nominated Bumbleance as their charity partner for 2015. They are providing me with a support vehicle, fundraisers along the route etc for the challenge. Also a large number of employees will be participating in the run at different sections.
I am a member of Dunboyne AC in Co.Meath for over 3 years. I have been training 5 days a week for this challenge with typical weekly mileage 70 – 80 miles per week and increasing. I have run 12 marathons to date including a track marathon as a fundraiser for our running club.
I have met with a number of celebrities so far to help publicise my event, with more planned. (Sonia O’Sullivan, Eamon Coughlan, Tommy Tiernan & Ardal O’Hanlon) Pictures can be found on my facebook event page:
