DUBLIN HALF MARATHON PHOTOS

Congratulations to Yvonne, Rebecca and all the Team running for S.O.F.T Ireland on Sunday 22 September 2024 in the Dublin Half Marathon in the Phoenix Park. There were over 6000 entries on the day creating a huge spectacle and avalanche of runners of all types creating their own PB’s. The race would be great preparation for anyone running in the Dublin City Marathon in October.  We are very grateful to all who have donated to our cause. What a day for Baby Patrick Gerard!

 
Yvonne and Rebecca Farrelly from Meath both sisters are running a fundraiser in memory of Baby Brother Patrick Gerard who died with Edward’s Syndrome Trisomy 18 (T18) in 2003. They will have an army of relations and friends to help them along on the day. This will be BIG and watch this space.
They are running 21km to remember his 21 years on Sunday 22nd of September in Dublin’s Half Marathon and are raising funds for S.O.F.T. Ireland as a thank you for all the support they as a family have received over the last 21 years. They will be running with family and friends and hope to gather as many people as possible.The Irish Life Dublin Half Marathon 2024 will take place on Sunday, 22nd at 9 am in the Phoenix Park.
Googling Half Marathon and you get the 21Km bit just in case you don’t know!
“A road race of 13.1094 miles or 21.0975km is exactly half the distance of a full marathon”
And if you subtract 2003 the year that Patrick Gerard was born)! from 2024 you get 21 years so now you know!
Baby Patrick Gerard will be in the heart of everyone in and around the day.

 

21KM for 21 Years is an Eventmaster Event and all donations are welcome through this fundraising page.
