Ernsto Antonio, from Galway, is running to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his heart transplant.

“It’s unbelievable,” he said.

“I urge people ... to become an organ donor, have the conversation with their family and their loved ones, to let them know their wishes.”

“One person can save up to seven lives – it's truly amazing to still be here after 25 years.”

Colin Farrell

Hollywood actor Colin Farrell turned heads when he lined up to compete earlier this morning.

The star is running the race in support of the Debra Ireland, a charity for those with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) which is otherwise known as butterfly skin.

Colin's friend Emma Fogarty has lived with EB since birth, and is Ireland’s longest-surviving patient with this rare disorder.

She will join her Movie star friend in the last 4 kilometers of the race, one for each of her decades, as she prepares to turn 40.
