My Personal Message

Hi guys,

The challenge for this campaign is simple. Starting from the morning of the 25th of October 2010, I (that's Emmet Ryan if you're new) must complete 5 marathons within the next 12 months. Seeing as I've only done 5 marathons in total in my life this is quite the increase in races.

Stage 1 of the Drive for Five will be the Dublin City Marathon on the 25th of October. We'll reveal the 4 other stages as the 12 months progress.

You can donate anytime between now and the end of the 5 marathon series. The target set above is just there because Mycharity insists on having totals. Every time we reach a total we'll increase the target. The objective is simply to raise as much as possible for the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland.

Thanks,
Emmet

Cystic Fibrosis is Ireland's most common genetically inherited disease. in ireland, we have the highest incidence of the disease in the developed world, with 1 in 19 members of the population being carriers of the recessive CF gene. it is when two carriers of the recessive gene parent a child together, there is a 1 in 4 risk of the child having the disease. There is nocure at present for this disease.
