Elaine Hits 400 Marathon Milestone, Putting Charity First

The spouse of Bann hockey star David McAnulty, Elaine, a cosmetologist from Banbridge, has journeyed worldwide alongside David for various engagements. However, this particular event held locally holds added significance. It’s particularly poignant as she recently recovered from a broken leg that could have hampered her plans, yet proceeds to support Cancer Focus Northern Ireland, an organization dear to her heart.

Elaine is raising funds on JustGiving where she detailed her journey.

On Sunday, the 4th of May 2025, I'll be partaking in the lively throngs on Belfast’s pavements as I reach my 400th officially registered marathon. This landmark isn’t merely an individual accomplishment; it's a jubilation of tenacity, resolve, and perhaps retaining one's stubborn streak!

As the first female from Northern Ireland to reach this incredible goal, I am inspired to give back by raising funds for Cancer Focus Northern Ireland. Your generosity can help bring hope and healing to families who need it most.

Donating via JustGiving is straightforward, quick, and entirely secure. After making a donation, your funds will go straight to the charity, guaranteeing that every contribution remains within Northern Ireland. By working together, we can bring about significant change! Think about supporting me in reaching my £400 goal as we aim to build a better tomorrow for individuals impacted by cancer.
