SeeBeyondBorders (SBB) is a small NGO that works to improve education for Cambodian children. It achieves this through training and mentoring teachers. My brother Colm leads SBB in Cambodia with my friend Pov. They are both teachers and know the power of education.

I have been to Cambodia twice to see their work. The challenge they face is immense. 90% of teachers were killed in Cambodia during the Khmer Rouge and today less than 3% of Cambodian children reach minimum learning standards. Many children do not complete primary school. The work SBB does to meet this challenge is immense. Their programmes directly benefit over 7,000 children in primary schools. Children in the schools SBB works in are far more likely to learn in school and therefore stay in school.

In my own tiny way I am running this marathon to help SeeBeyondBorders on the marathon challenge they face. Before starting my training for DCM- the longest I had ever ran or walked before was 10km. I am a bit apprehensive about the marathon but also know it is a once off and for a special cause.

What am I asking?

- I would be so grateful if you could donate to my marathon page and help me reach my target to transform lives for Cambodian children. Every cent you invest in my marathon run will go to SeeBeyondBorders Ireland. They are an Irish registered charity so tax relief on donations applies. Every cent SeeBeyondBorders Ireland gets will go to the cause.

- Please consider spreading the word about my run and this page

Thank you so, so much.
