Colin Farrell ran a marathon for a sick friend
Colin Farrell ran in the marathon in the Irish capital Dublin. The 48-year-old Irishman was supporting a fundraising campaign for a friend who suffers from a rare skin disease.

Collects donations for butterfly disease
Fogarty suffers from epidermolysis bullosa, also known as butterfly disease. The cohesion of the skin layers is weakened. Even the smallest injuries, friction or pressure lead to blisters and open wounds.
During a joint appearance on "The Late Late Show", the two talked about the planned marathon. Emma's humor, her nature, her friendliness and her zest for life are amazing, said Farrell.
The fundraising campaign has so far raised around 700,000 euros for a charity organization for those affected.
Milestone celebrated
They also wanted to celebrate Fogarty's 40th birthday with the marathon - a milestone she didn't think she would reach, according to the British news agency PA. Farrell wanted to push Fogarty in a wheelchair for the last four kilometers.
