AN Irish dad joined his three daughters and ran the last 11km of the Paris marathon for charities which allowed their mum to get palliative care. 

Michael Cassidy took to the streets of the French capital to support his girls and their friend Meabh Cunningham on the second half of the race last weekend.

Twins Niamh and Emma Cassidy, 23, and their 26-year-old sister Aisling decided on the event as it didn’t clash with their GAA footballing summer commitments with Simonstown GAA in Navan, Meath.
