Subject: Running the Chicago Marathon for Irish Political Prisoners


On Sunday, October 22, I will be running the Chicago Marathon in honor of the Irish Political Prisoners being held at the Portlaoise, Maghaberry, Whitemoor, Full Sutton, Long Lartin and Castlerea facilities in Ireland, the North of Ireland and England.

I am keeping a blog of my training progress at the following link:

www.26milesfortheifc.blogspot.com

In the past few weeks, I have sent letters to over eighty prisoners and, fortunately, I’ve already received a few responses. As an Irish-American living in Boston, I am proud to support these individuals as they endure repeated injustices, harsh treatment and deprivation. I refuse to sit idly by or forget the abuses of human rights that have taken place and, sadly, are continuing against these political prisoners and many others.

My goal in running – and completing – the marathon is to bring attention to their plight and, in the process, raise funds for their families that will be distributed through the Irish Freedom Committee (www.irishfreedomcommittee.net).

I would sincerely appreciate any assistance that you might be able to offer with regard to this effort, whether it be placing a link to my blog on your web site, providing media coverage (internet, print, radio, television) or making a small, sponsorship donation. There is now a PayPal donation link on my blog and all funds will be directed to the Irish Freedom Committee for disbursement.

It would be especially helpful if you could forward this email message to your entire list of contacts to spread the word.

If you have any questions or comments, or would like to conduct an interview, please feel free to contact me.

Slainte,
George Cuddy
