DUBLIN: Ex-footballer Ashley Cain has started the first of five planned charity marathon runs in aid of a foundation in honour of his late daughter that will span across five major cities in Ireland and the UK over the next five days.
The runs are to mark the second birthday on August 10th of his daughter Azaylia, who died of leukaemia last April aged eight months.
Cain’s route through Dublin begins at Fitzwilliam Square, passes Stephen’s Green and goes through the Phoenix Park, Crumlin, Terenure and Ballsbridge before finishing back in the city centre at around 4.30pm.
He will then run marathons on Thursday in Belfast, Friday in Glasgow, Saturday in Cardiff, and Sunday in London.
Cain, a former player for Coventry City and later a participant in the reality television programme Ex On The Beach, established The Azaylia Foundation to aid in the fight against childhood cancer by promoting early detection and expanding the availability of novel treatments in the UK.
Cain will take on three additional athletic feats this month, beginning with these five marathons in five days across the five cities, following his completion of a 100-mile ultra marathon in April.
Along the routes, Cain will be accompanied by friends, family, and notable individuals.
