So this English lad that ran the London Marathon with a 22kg fridge on his back(!!!) to raise money for Frontotemporal Dementia research is currently doing 32 Irish marathons in 32 days. Him and his brother lost their (Irish) mam to the disease and she was only 47 years old. It actually just gets worse because a few of their other relatives died from dementia, and they themselves are carriers and aren't expected to live past their 40s. So they've been raising money for charity and half of the proceeds will go to the Alzheimer society of Ireland

I'd love to go out to cheer them on, I can make a Whatsapp group for anyone who wants to join in? I've attached a photo of their route, they're starting at 10am on May 14th in South Park. It's a 26 mile run and I think it's expected to take them 4 hours and 20 minutes?
