Story
On 25th October 2026, Catherine & Hayey will be taking on the huge challenge of running the Dublin Marathon raising funds for Marie Curie.
After the death of Catherine’s father Malcolm, in March 2025, she and her family experienced first hand just how valuable end of life support is. The care Malcolm received at home allowed him to remain comfortable and peaceful in familiar surroundings during the final weeks of his life, something that meant a huge amount to the family.
Also since 2023, Hayley has lost 2 friends to cancer. The wonderful end of life care and support provided by Marie Curie meant so much to both the individuals and their families.
None of us know how our lives will end, so we are taking this opportunity to help raise awareness and funding for the vital work that this charity does.
Together we are training for our very long run and pooling our fundraising.
All the money raised will help Marie Curie provide vital care and support to people living with a terminal illness, and their families at the toughest time.
£3 helps fund a meal for a patient in one of their hospices.
£26 helps fund an hour of bereavement support by phone
or webchat.
£207 helps fund nine hours of overnight nursing care in a patient's home.
Thank you so much for donating whatever you can, it really will make a massive difference.
