The Manuela Riedo Foundation Ireland (MRFI) is bringing 500 walkers, runners (or crawlers) to the Dingle Marathon this September, and we're joining them!
This Phil Cawley Show is broadcasting live from the run, with producer Jennifer running (crawling, lets be honest) the half marathon live on air.

“500 is not a number we have plucked from the sky” said team leader Shane Lennon. “This will represent one in four of total race entries. “It also represents the same number in society that has or may experience sexual assault or rape. Dingle is not just a great challenge but it will be the greatest awareness campaign, for this cause, that this country has ever seen. We need to show people just how big a problem we have. If we want to change things, it starts by raising awareness”.
Not a runner? Neither is Jennifer! Especially now that she managed to break her toe, running over her own foot on a segway... Basically if she can do it, anyone can.
The crazy talented singer songwriter and friend of the show, Luan Parle will be running too as well as singing a few songs at the after party.
Registration closes this Friday 31st of July and just over 400 people signed up, they're asking you and your friends to run/walk/crawl not just for Manuela, but for everyone the charity raises money for.
You can register here with the above discount code.
See you on the 5th of September!
