Story
We are a group of friends who have met over the years living
in Dublin and ended up all playing Tag Rugby together. To beat the lockdown
blues we’ve decided to all set our own challenges and run for a good cause.
The date has been set and we will all be running the below
distances (venue confirmed - Marley Park - will be adhering to all social distancing guidelines)
Since we shared this, we've had others who wished to challenge themselves and have joined the group so the total distance is on the rise. All are welcome to do what they can, whether it's to simply donate or run a few Kms. No closing date, just let us know if you wish to be part of the run and will add to the total.

There are so many worthy causes out there, but we've decided to do what we can for the LauraLynn charity.
Lauralynn is Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice. Based in Dublin, we provide palliative care to children with life-limiting conditions and their families. With a focus on enhancing quality of life, LauraLynn provides support from diagnosis, to end of life, and throughout bereavement with a range of practical, emotional and medical care for the whole family. In 2020, LauraLynn requires €4.68M to deliver our hospice care and develop our LauraLynn@HOME programme bringing palliative care into the comfort of children’s own homes. www.lauralynn.ie
