As most of you know, my nephew Senan was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was just 3 weeks old. He's a great, happy kid, who gets amazing support from his family. Having said that, we're always looking for fun, crazy ways to raise much needed funds to help with the great work CF Ireland are doing for Senan and thousands of others like him in Ireland.

This April, we will be running 6.5km ten times at four hour intervals (including the middle of the night) to reach our 65km goal in 36hours. The runs will have to be within our 5km zones, so unfortunately we won't be able to run together. This just makes it even harder...

We will be running 6.5km at the following times:

Friday 9th April at 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm and 10pm

Saturday 10th April at 2am, 6am, 10am, 2pm and 6pm.

We've never done a challenge like this, and I've a feeling it's going to be horrendous!

If any of you would like to join us by running the whole thing with us, please let me know. We'd also love if those of you who think 65km is just too much would run 6.5km at one or two of the times I've listed. Even though we can't run together, it's great having someone to talk to before, during or after the run (especially at 2am!). If a few of you want to join up and make a team of 5, you could all run twice each. And draw straws for the night-time runs!

65 Roses Day is the National Fundraising Day for Cystic Fibrosis Ireland and unfortunately their collections cannot proceed on Friday 9th April due to Covid-19. This is their largest fundraising event of the year and targeted to raise 300,000 to help fund essential services needed now more than ever by people with Cystic Fibrosis in Ireland.

Please help us support them by donating to our fundraising page.

Your support means an incredible amount - thanks.
