“Before accepting this challenge…I’d only every run 10K”

JP LIF Marathon Runner

LIF’s very own Donegal Dynamo is in training for the 2026 London Marathon. He’s out in the early mornings building his stamina and endurance for a race that will test him to his limits!

JP’s a Trustee at Luton Irish Forum and well known locally for his Charity, Boxing Saves Lives. He’s also…

Officially an EEJIT!! 🤣

We think there’s something very special about JP taking on the Marathon to raise funds to help the most vulnerable in our community. The people that the money is raised for will probably never know about the blisters and the leg cramps or the not wanting to head out on a cold morning…BUT they will know that a LIF Welfare Advisor has got their back and is doing everything to solve their problems. Housing, disability benefits, tribunals - Last year LIF Welfare Advisors achieved £1.5 Million Welfare Benefit gains for their clients and helped improve not just people’s income but their mental and physical health and resilience.
