In 2018, when I was 15, my dad, Padraic McCracken, was diagnosed with Glioblastoma. After a long and courageous fight, he passed away in 2020. While he was sick, I started running half marathons so he could see me achieve something while he was still here. Dublin was one of his favorite cities, and now as I study and live here full-time I feel closer to him than ever.

Running the 2026 Dublin Marathon in his honor feels like coming full circle, and I'm doing it to raise money for brain cancer research in hopes of one day finding a cure
