Irishman to run Dublin Marathon in memory of 'most selfless' mum

An Irishman is set to run the Dublin Marathon in memory of his beloved mum who died of cancer last year.

Shaun Boyle, 26, will be making the 26.2-mile journey alongside his partner, Sophie Twomey, to raise money for Irish Cancer Society. Donegal man, Shaun, said he's determined to honour his mum, Grace, who died within days of being diagnosed with cancer the second time.

He told Dublin Live: "The essence of my mum's character would have been helping others and being extremely selfless. I want to emulate her standards and at least try and be a fraction of the person she was."
