A YOUNG man who plans to run a gruelling 32 marathons in 32 days will take on the Meath part of that challenge at the Porchfields in Trim on 9th August.
Brendán O’Neill will run the 26.2 mile distance in the Porchfields and will have some celebrity company along the way
He will be joined by the Meath Rose, Ella Bannon, Miss Ireland finalist, Kyleigh Britton, members of Trim Athletic Club and his sponsor for the Meath marathon, Roisin Greene of RG Fitness and Pilates. They will all run part of the distance with Brendán.
The 24 year-old Kerryman is taking on the 32 marathon challenge to raise funds for Focus Ireland.
"I am doing this to raise funds for the 15,000 plus people in this country who have no place to call home," he says.
"Homelessness in Ireland has reached crisis levels, children growing up in emergency accommodation, families living out of cars, men and women sleeping rough in every town and city across the country. This isn’t distant. This isn’t rare. It’s happening on our doorsteps."
He explains that each day from 23rd July to 23rd August, the fundraising run will pass through a different county—one marathon at a time.
"Every step is for those who don’t have a finish line to run towards. The funds raised go directly to Focus Ireland, a charity working every single day to fight homelessness and support people into permanent, safe housing."
The Meath leg of the mammoth challenge takes place on the 9th of August in Trim and Brendán would love to have as much support as possible on the day.
The Trim event is sponsored by Trim-based fitness and pilates instructor, Roisin Greene who offers in person and online fitness classes helping participants with their fitness levels, confidence and mental wellbeing.
