And so the challenge continues .................

The last 2 weeks have been absolutely hectic and I cannot believe that in 14 days I will begin the challenge of 4 marathons in 4 days in Donegal, this sort of an event is a first or me and the nerves are starting to kick in with the thoughts of having to run 168.8 km - 104.8 miles !!!!!!!!!!
 The support that we are receiving is absolutely amazing, a huge thank you once again to Castlegregory Golf Club and to everyone that supported the golf classic in anyway.  The total raised was an amazing 4,320 euro.  Total raised so far is now 16,425.80 euro.






For the next 14 days training will be relatively light with the emphasis being put hugely on rest and nutrition.  This event will bring me to 10 marathons out of 12 so that alone will be motivation to complete all 4 marathons.
For us reality on what Pat has been through hit home once again today when we were back in the Mercy Hospital.  This is what welcomed us when we walked in the front door. It certainly was a bit strange being recognised as the person on the front cover of the Mercy Fundraising booklet.

I would never have imagined that after having done 6 of the 12 marathons that we would have raised so much money, thank you to everyone that has donated so far.
