I'm running the Dublin Marathon in honour of my Mum, Esther Kenny. She lost my Dad in 1983 while undergoing treatment for breast cancer and despite her loss, she fought a brave and dignified battle until her death on 29th October 1985 age 46. My Mum was a caring and giving person who often put the needs of others before her own. I want to honour her courage and generosity by raising money for St Luke's Hospital, in her name, as they cared for her with great respect and kindness during her illness.
