About Us

Emma(aka one time laziest person in the world) decided before she was 30 she wanted to run a marathon. Aubrey (aka super fit lunatic) decided he'd help her. Together they finished the Barcelona marathon 2011. With her 30th birthday fast approaching Emma was not content with having only one marathon under her belt before the big 3-0 and wanted to take on the King of all marathons - New York City. What could make this challenge even better? Raising €10,000 for the Irish Cancer Society. Over the next four months, they'll be pounding the pavements, shaking buckets and bleeding their friends dry all in the name of cancer research. This will be Emma's second marathon and Aubrey's forth.

€10,000 WOW that's ALOT of money!

It's been a week since myself and Aubrey officially signed up to the challenge of a lifetime and our fundraising has started off fantastically. Unbelievably we're already a 10th of the way there, we really appreciate everyone's support to date, not only the sponsorship but also the offers of valuable time and ideas. Thank you everyone!


Training OFFICIALLY starts this week(has anyone got a spare pair of legs, we might just need them!) Four days of running, all short runs, 5km, 7km, 5km and 8km. (I'm laughing as I type 'short runs' it's not so long ago that I thought 3km was the longest distance ever. Taking me 30 mins to recover afterwards! I never thought I would complete a marathon let alone sign up for another one!) As Aubrey is bringing his part of the challenge to another level, completing Dublin on the Monday then on to New York on the Sunday, he will be adding an extra day of training and some speed training. All distances will be somewhat the same.

For the gamblers amongst you we will be opening up a sweepstakes to guess our times, individually and together, more details to follow later in the week!
