Dubai Founder Runs 7 MARATHONS In 7 Days For The Best Reason
The founder of Heroes Of Hope ran 7 marathons in 7 days across 7 emirates for a cause extremely close to her heart.
Irish resident Hollie Murphy is the founder of Heroes of Hope, an entirely non-profit devoted to people of determination here in Dubai. She works with sports clubs, gyms and trainers all to ensure children of determination can get active, and last week she ran 7 marathons in 7 days, to raise awareness and funds for the organisation.
Three days after crossing the finish line on Palm Jumeirah, Hollie joined the Lovin Daily to talk about why she took on the major feat and the incredible community that gave her strength along the way.
