Irish In Spain Running Indoor Marathons For Charity

This group of Irish expats in strict lockdown in Spain are running two ‘relay marathons’ in their living rooms to raise money for a Tipperary cancer hospice after its fundraising events were cancelled in the COVID-19 crisis.

Irish mother-of-two Breda McGrath came up with the idea of running the marathons indoors to raise money for the Suir Haven cancer hospice in Tipperary which her mother helped found in 2010 before her death from cancer last year.
