Rory’s Story

Training for a Marathon - Noel Carroll Running

Show Notes

Myself and Paul Carroll are running this years Dublin Marathon to raise funds for Heart Children Ireland and The Heart Centre - Children’s Health Foundation.

As many of you know, our little boy Rory was diagnosed with congenital heart disease at just 2 days old. After a rollercoaster of setbacks, disappointments and cancelled dates in late 2024, he bravely underwent open heart surgery in January 2025 in Crumlin Childrens Hospital and is thriving since 💙
