Abbie Coughlan fundraising for The Hope Foundation in Regeneron Great Limerick Run 2026
This year on May 3rd I will be running the Half Marathon in Limerick city in aid of the Hope foundation in which my grandad Liam Coughlan has travelled to Kolkata with many times. I felt like it was my turn to follow in his footsteps so I decided to run the half this year. This is a foundation very close to our family as the the Hope hospital has a plaque in remembrance of him. Any donations will go along way and will help the people of Kolkata in ways we couldn’t even imagine.
