Aoife’s marathon attempt

Aoife Currie is organizing this fundraiser to benefit Essential Life Saving Skills for Africa.

So after a few drinks one night some ‘friends’ and I decided it would be a great idea to run a marathon for my 50th birthday . The Dublin marathon lottery sadly concurred and gave me a place so here it is! 26.2 miles of running on 27th Oct. I’m raising money for a charity v dear to me. Many of you know I go to South Sudan to teach for ELSSA and am going in September.
