Radio presenter Venetia Quick will be taking on the Dublin City Marathon this weekend in memory or her late husband and to raise funds for child mental health.
The Q102 star, who hosts the station's early morning Breakfast show with Aidan Cooney, is ditching her dancing shoes for runners to take on the 26 mile slog with thousands of others on Sunday (Oct 30).
And she has the support of former president Mary McAleese while doing so.
