Online giving platform JustGiving is now open to charities in Ireland. It is launching
its presence by partnering with the [Airtricity Dublin Marathon](http://dublinmarathon.ie/)
which takes place on 28 October.

JustGiving already handles around €230,000 for the event, but the partnership is
designed to help online fundraising increase amongst the 14,000 participants.

Race director Jim Aughney said: "We were so excited to hear that JustGiving was 
opening to charities in Ireland and I cannot think of a better and more appropriate
partner for the Airtricity Dublin Marathon. JustGiving’s revolutionary online giving
platform makes fundraising dramatically simple and social for our runners. Together
we hope to smash the amount of money we raise for great causes.”
