Martin Murphy
The Aisling Irish Community and Cultural Center is proud to have Martin Murphy representing the AICC
in the New York City Marathon, this November, as a member of the Aisling Marathon Team. This will be
Martin’s first marathon and he is excited to take part in it. Martin lives in Co. Armagh with his wife and
three children and has visited New York previously three times. He met with Fr. Brendan, St.
Barnabas and the topic of the marathon came up while Fr. Brendan was visiting Ireland. Martin immediately entered his name into the lottery to
run. Martin played Gaelic Football when he was younger and enjoys running because it gives him a
chance to clear his mind and keep in shape. While he is not training, he coaches his son’s football team
and is a proud supporter of GAA sports. He is using his time training and running to support his friend
and the AICC. Martin is excited about coming to New York to run in his first marathon.
Go n-Éirí an Bóthar Leat, Martin....
