Thank you all for your generous donations ! Broke 10 mile at the weekend for 1st time in my life

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

My name is Brian and I have crazily decided at the ripe old age of 31 to attempt to run 26.2 miles like a mad man. I've decided that this would be the perfect year to run the marathon given the amount of rioters on the street, this should produce a much needed spring in my step.

Not only would completing a marathon tick off a bucket list item, it would also help raise some dosh and awarenes for a very worthy foundation - The Michaela foundation (themichaelafoundation.com/) which was formed in memory of Michaela McAreavy - a foundation which provides student award grants to help with university fees and sets up Girls summer camps all over Ireland.

Any donation is very much appreciated.
It will help ease the chafing pain.
