A determined Dublin mum will be running her 19th Women's Mini Marathon in aid of a charity that helped her daughter with a rare condition.
Liz Collins, 55, will be doing the 10k run in a bid to support the national charity which helps her daughter battle a horrific skin disease. The Terenure woman's daughter Claudia Scanlon suffers from a severe form of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), the genetic skin disease also known as Butterfly Skin, which leaves 80% of her body covered in open wounds.
Liz will be undertaking the mini-marathon to raise awareness for DEBRA Ireland, a charity that supports people living with EB and their families. Liz said: "You put on your t-shirt with pride, with the patient in your heart.
