Shane started the run in Phoenix Park last Tuesday and will finish 314 miles later in his hometown of Dingle. He is covering 26.5 miles per day, running through Kildare, Tullamore and Adare. The money collected through the marathon will go towards Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Ireland (SBHI), with a target of raising €20,000. To follow Shane’s progress, visit the 12 Marathons 12 Days Facebook page or 12marathons-12days.com Donations can be made via mycharity.ie. Shane also turned 22 during the weekend. Let’s hope one of his birthday presents was a good pair of running shoes.
