Dublin Marathon Charity

The 2015 SSE Dublin City Marathon has nominated Aware and MS Ireland as its two official charity partners for this year’s race on October 26th.

The race organisers have established special online fundraising tools through just giving.com making it easy for those taking part to reach out to their many networks and friends.

Screen Shot 2015-07-24 at 08.29.01A special tag rugby ‘fun’raiser will take place at Donnybrook Stadium on Saturday raising funds for Aoife Beary, one of those who is still recovering in California after the Berkeley tragedy in which six of her friends lost their lives.

Aoife’s family remain with her as she begins the long path to recovery and friends have pulled together to organise the Tag event which will see appearances from Sean O’Brien and Fiona Coghlan. There is room to play or just spectate and there will be fun and barbecues going throughout the day.

Aoife’s Dad Mike has been a friend over many years and I will be there tomorrow to lend moral support (from the sidelines) for a very worthy cause.

If you want to go or make a contribution you can do so here.
