Walshy's fun runs for Barnardos

Walshy's fun runs for Barnardos I've decided to get fit this summer, in doing so i'm training to run in the Dublin Marathon on Oct 31st 2011. If I don't kill myself.

During my training I'll be taking part in three races during the summer in July, August and September in which i'll be running for Bernardos Ireland. Not only will I be running in these events but I will wear the most ridiculous outfits I/we can think of. I'll wear spandex shorts, onesies, mankinies whatever you throw at me!! Pretty much I'm going to take the mick out of myself while runnning in t

hese events. The inspiration for this has been taken from my recent season in France where the worse you looked the better. Here is a taste of what outfits i'm talking about...

For the first race I will be wearing some retro ski gear as I run 5 miles through the Pheonix park. For the other races I will wear whatever suggestions people throw at me. (No nudity tho, it's a family event!)

Here is my sponsorship page for Bernardos, you can sponsor me through that page or in person

The more sponsorship I get the more willing I will be to wear whatever people suggest. Note: I'll only take the suggestions of those who sponsor me ;)


Race 1: July 16th - 5 mile

Earth to friends, here's the deal. If you sponsor me it will be for all three races. Hopefully the fundings popularity will increase from race to race as I post pictures and videos from each one. After the last race i will donate what i've raised to Barnardo's. I'm aiming to have a gang of people joining me for the half marathon wearing silly outfits! Less than 2 weeks to go!!

great clip from zoolander

Whether you’re a walker, a jogger or a runner, the race series in the Phoenix Park provides the perfect build-up to the National Lottery Dublin Marathon. Or just participate for fun.

Right so this is the start of my charity page. I've always wanted to run for charity so why not this summer? Donations will be greatly appreciated, all of the money I collect will be going to Bernardos Ireland. Bernardos is one of the largest and most active organisations working for children in Ireland.

After seeing Conor's story I donated to Barnardos. You should watch it too: http://t.co/5BpiHRR and RT
