Three cheers for my little brother, who has suddenly decided to run the Dublin marathon on 27 October. Most people try a 10k or maybe a Half before committing themselves to the big one…not my bruv.
It’s the most enormous undertaking, and I admire anyone who goes for it. Unlike a half marathon, you do need to give up other aspects of your life – namely a social one – in order to complete the distance comfortably. But it’s worth it. I’ve completed two London marathons, and the sense of satisfaction when you cross that finish line is like nothing else I’ve experienced: before or since.
Dan’s also running for a very worthy cause – the Keech Cottage Children’s Hospice, which is based in Luton and cares for terminally ill children in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. He’s looking to raise two grand; so, if you fancy sponsoring him, you can do so here.
