Tipperary woman to run first ever marathon for worthy local cause and it's in Paris...
Shauna is a member of Ballyskenagh Athletic Club and works in Roscrea
In fewer than two weeks' time, on April 13, a young Roscrea woman will run her very first marathon through the streets of the French capital, Paris.
Born near Mountheaton, Shauna Fitzgerald is regularly seen pounding the roads over the last few months as she prepares for her big day.
A member of Ballyskenagh Athletic Club, Shauna has steadily built up her running distances. Having already completed 5K, 10K and half marathons, it was always Shauna’s goal to one day realise her dream of running a full marathon.

It is Shauna’s wish that all money she raises will be spent on Hospice services within the Roscrea area.
With the recent purchase of a house in Roscrea by North Tipperary Hospice, the amount raised by Shauna will be extremely useful.
To sponsor Shauna, you can scan the code below, contact any committee of Roscrea Hospice Fundraising or call to Frawley’s Chemist on Main St, Roscrea where Shauna works as a Pharmacy Technician.
Her family, friends, work colleagues and the Hospice community want to wish her the very best of luck in Paris.
“Well done Shauna and thank you”, Roscrea Hospice said ahead of her departure.
