Im going to try and run 100km to prevent blindness

Wednesday 5th Oct
When I was 18 years old, and at college in my home in Donegal, i witnessed an man with albinism (who had very impaired vision), walk into a floating staircase and smash his head on it.  Not only was he badly physically injured, but some other students laughed at what happened to him.  I went over to help him pick up his books, and asked if he was ok.  He was clearly in a lot of pain, and felt humiliated by the other students.  He replied that stuff like that happened to him all the time.  When i went home that night, it upset me a lot to think of how unfair the world could be that some people should have to suffer like that.  In that moment, I made a decision that if I had an opportunity to help people with impaired vision or blind, I would.  
Thick as Thieves has been proudly supporting the Fred Hollows Foundation for 10 years now.  The foundation does incredible work in restoring eyesight to those blinded by cataracts disease for as little as $25.  They also work tirelessly to improve aboriginal and indigenous health.

On November 25th, I am going to attempt to run 100kms (non stop) as part of the Quick as Thieves Ultra Marathon.  I have never run longer than 63.3kms before, and when i did this, I did not have a single km left in me. I am quietly sh*tting myself about the idea that i have to add almost a full marathon onto the end of what was my longest ever run.   
Any donations are hugely appreciated.. link in my bio.
Love 
Mike
