FIGHT!

RUN!

Aileen Moon of the Down Syndrome Centre writes:

The Down Syndrome Centre is one of the chosen charities for this year’s SSE Airtricity Dublin Marathon and we’ve decided to have a little bit of fun with the event! We’re going to pit FOUR teams – those in their 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s – against each other to see which team can raise the most amount of money for us (not to mention finishing a marathon!!).
Each team will be led by a professional Irish runner and we will be hosting training sessions in the run up to the marathon. Please contact me on (01) 661 8000 or via aileen@downsyndromecentre.ie.” Thank you.”
