Marathon fundraiser set up for the late Elaine Boyle Logue - 'an incredible person'

A kind-hearted Lettermacaward native will run the Dublin City Marathon in memory in support of the family of a friend, who passed away suddenly during the week.

Rachel Harper is fundraising for the family of the late Elaine Boyle Logue, who was originally from Lettermacaward and lived in Dungloe. The GoFundMe, which was set up on Saturday, has already raised over €45,000, and you can donate here.

“On Sunday 27 October, I am running the Dublin City Marathon in memory of our dear friend Elaine Boyle Logue,” Rachel posted on the GoFund Me. “It was only this week that we unexpectedly and suddenly lost Elaine. Her passing has left all of us heartbroken, including her family who must now struggle to navigate this unimaginable loss. Elaine was an incredible person, full of love and life and a devoted mother to Dylan, Aesha, Freya and Ruben.

“By supporting this GoFundMe Marathon campaign, it’s our turn to uplift Elaine's family as they face the immense emotional and financial burden that comes with such a sudden loss. Any funds raised will go directly to her kids to help them in these challenging times, both now and in the weeks and months ahead. No donation is too small – every contribution will make a difference. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing this page with others would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.”
