On the morning of Sunday, June 4 I’ll line up alongside 400 fellow Sanctuary Runners on St Patrick’s Street to take part in the Cork City Marathon — across 50 nationalities and including people of different cultures, legal status, religions, ages, and sexual orientation.

Weeks and months of training together, supporting each other, laughing with and learning from each other.
