Brian runs Palma Marathon

Calm & collected before the race!

Brian

On the 15th of October, Eoin's brother Brian (together with honorary Murray and long time best friend, Jonathon Finn) ran the Palma Marathon to raise funds for the scholarship.

Brian started running four months ago (!) and decided that he would complete a marathon, before his 30th birthday, in memory of Eoin and in support of the scholarship.

Brian and Jonathon had a team of supporters in his parents; Jim and Tess, his sister; Maria and Jonathon's parents; John and Roseleen. 

In total, Brian managed to raise over €2000.  Words can't really express how humbled and grateful we all are for all the support and interest to date.  It's overwhelming, both the donations and the emails and letters we have been receiving in support of the scholarship.  We feel this is an opportunity to create something positive out of a terrible tragedy.  Nothing can really ease the loss of Eoin being here, gifting the world with his work.  However this scholarship is something he would have been proud of, and in the lack of Eoin's poetic voice in the world, we can support others. 

Thank you again for all of your support, well wishes and love.
