After her father's passing, Nichola Sheridan found solace and a sense of connection through running, a passion they shared. Winning the Dublin City Half Marathon was a significant achievement for her, inspired by her father's dedication to the sport. Originally taking up running as a coping mechanism during his illness, her father's enthusiasm fueled her spirit even in his weakest moments. Through races and interactions with his friends, she maintains his memory and feels his presence, especially during marathons, leading to a heartfelt journey in her running career.
When my dad got sick after the Leaving Cert, I started running as a crutch for my mental health to get outside. He was a passionate runner.
I do feel him with me all the time. In a race like the marathon, I definitely feel his presence with me.
