The daughter of a Dublin woman who bravely fought breast cancer is to take part in the VHI Women's Mini Marathon for Breast Cancer Ireland.
Saidhbhe Casey is already close to her €500 fundraising goal for the charity.
Her mum Imelda battled the disease over the past year and thanks to the treatment she received is now in remission.
So far, Saidhbhe has had great support and is looking for one last push before the marathon on Sunday, June 2.
