Kate Kilgore will be one of the 25,000 people taking part in Sunday's Dublin City Marathon to raise funds for Marie Curie
A Co Down woman will be pounding the pavements of Dublin this Sunday for a cause very dear to her heart.
"My grandpa's GP was amazing as were the district nurses, who saw him regularly anyway but Marie Curie made a big difference. It's a fabulous charity that provides care and support to people with any terminal illness, and their families. Kate, who also works in the medical profession, added: "They were worth their weight in gold with their clinical expertise, kindness and helping to maintain dignity in a time of difficulty. They really are absolute angels!
"My brother and I were his only grandchildren so he was very devoted and always wanted to know how we did in school or know the result of a hockey match. He was very involved and took a great interest in everything we did - just amazing." "I only started training in May and did a 5K run which nearly killed me. I really struggled at the start but then got into a rhythm and religiously stuck to a training plan.
It will be his fifth marathon run in aid of Marie Curie and will add to the £20,000 he has already raised.
