Supporting Women's Cancer Care

The Mater Hospital Foundation exists to support patients and their families in the Mater Public Hospital. Our goal this year is to provide urgent funding where it’s needed most in our hospital so we can speed up cancer diagnosis, enhance treatments and provide world-class care to the women from all over Ireland who come through our doors.

Why it Matters

It's vital the Mater has the equipment, supports, facilities, and the research capabilities to save lives - that's where the funds you raise come in.

We want to build on what our supporters have made possible so far. Will you be a Marilyn and stand beside every woman undergoing cancer treatment in the Mater? Together, we can do so much more!

What is a 'Paddle'?

The Marilyn ‘Paddle’ is a chance to stroll, splash around or have a little dip in the sea water at Donabate... up to about waist or chest deep, at most.

What the day looks like

  • 9.30am Registration opens – At the Shoreline Hotel. We'll just need to check in those that have purchased their tickets and provide them with an ‘access’ wristband, etc., for the beach. Registration will stay open until 10.50am approx., so you don’t need to be there first thing, but those who are can gather with fellow Marilyns, enjoy the vibes, etc.
  • 11:00am Head down to the beach – head on to the sand for the paddle itself. Depending on numbers it could take us approx.. 15 mins to get down.  At that stage, with all in order re the tides – we get in, make a splash, pose for some pics… or some may prefer to stay dry and enjoy the fun from the beach while sashaying around and showing off their Marilyn style.
  • 12:00 Noon Back to the Shoreline – Join our Marilyn Mixer after party. Pick up your goodie bag, enjoy some refreshments, dance away to some retro hits.
  • Circa 1:30pm - The lights go down for another year.
