Local amateur photographer Darran Rafferty is planning to run the New York marathon later this year to raise funds for Post Natal Depression.
The 34-year-old will be collecting in the Marshes Shopping Centre this Saturday in aid of the worth cause, which supporters mothers who are suffering from depression following the birth of a baby.
Darran has previously raised over €5,000 by running three Dublin Marathons but hopes to add significantly to that tally this time around.
Anyone who would like to make a contribution can do so via PayPal to darranrafferty@gmail.com or by calling 087 1238421.
