Having run my first marathon less than 4 years ago and very much in the style of ‘Forrest Gump’ I’ve not really stopped running ever since!
I am undertaking a huge challenge to raise over £5,000 for local cancer charity Action Cancer by running 7 marathons in 7 days around the Belfast area from 26/05/25 to 01/06/25 with my good friends John Mulholland and Gareth Brown.
I have lost family members to cancer and want to make a personal contribution to this very worthwhile charity which gives so much back to local people impacted by cancer.
Please help in any way you can.
