Hello friends! I am originally from
Woodlawn and now residing in Cortlandt Manor, NY. I am very excited to be part of
the Aisling Center Team for the 2025 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon. I have
deeply tied roots to the Irish community, with my mom hailing from County Offaly,
my dad from Westmeath and my husband from Mayo! Growing up in Woodlawn was a very special experience for me. I spend most Saturdays there visiting my
mom, who still lives on Martha Avenue.
I have a strong connection with the Aisling
Center. I have attended many classes, concerts, and even some dances at the Aisling. Luckily, my 86-year-old mom lives just a couple of blocks away and is
to be able to walk there every Tuesday. She loves the Young @ Heart luncheons
where she socializes with friends, enjoys delicious meals, and
participates in a variety of activities, including games, movies, and
presentations.
At 54, I took on a new challenge and ran
the NYC Marathon as part of a workplace fundraiser. I have also completed
a few 5K races for charity in the past few years. Though I haven’t run
regularly since the marathon, I am beyond excited to get back into training for
the half marathon and to raise funds for the Aisling Center! I am eager to
support the incredible Aisling Center, which has had such a positive impact on
my family and the community.
