Day 7 ✅ | 350km run across both sides of the Atlantic
We finished yesterday in Cork, and we’re still taking it all in.
This past week has been one we’ll never forget. Not for the distance or the exhaustion, but for the kindness we’ve been shown every step of the way.
To everyone who came out to run with us, offered a meal, sent a message, helped with sponsorship, or simply showed up - thank you. Your support meant more than we can say.
We’ve now raised over €36,000 for the Irish Cancer Society, and we’re so grateful to each and every person who contributed.
It’s been a long road, but one full of heart.
If you’d like to donate, the link is in our bio. 💙💛

We’re honoured to have Folor Construction as a sponsor of Run for Research. Based in New York, Folor has been a monumental part of making this challenge a reality for us, and we’re deeply grateful for their support.
A special thank you goes to Folor’s owner, John Dowling, whose backing has been instrumental, as well as to members of his outstanding team - including Irishmen , Gunn, , , Darren Talbot, and - whose encouragement means so much.
It feels especially fitting to have the support of a company with such strong ties to both New York and Cork, as we set out to run between two of the greatest cities on the planet.
Together, we’re proud to carry this mission forward in support of the Irish Cancer Society.
