AMY FLANAGAN fundraising for Marymount University Hospice

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. On the 1st of June I will be running Cork City Marathon for the third consecutive year , but this year for a purpose. Marymount hospice is very close to my families heart as it is to many families. My Grandfather John Joe Flanagan spent his last few weeks of life in Marymount battling cancer in the care and comfort of the incredible nurses , doctors and staff of Marymount hospice. They go above and beyond for every patient aswell as their families that are going through such a tough time. Please donate as much or as little as you can to help raise much needed funds as Marymount hospice solely depends on fundraising to keep up such a high standard of palliative care. Your support is really appreciated. If you can help me to promote this page I would greatly appreciate it. You can share my page on any social media using the social sharing sections. Thank you so much , Amy x

About Marymount University Hospice

Marymount University Hospital & Hospice (“Marymount”) provides specialist palliative care services and services to care for dependent older people. Its origins date back to 1870 with its foundation by the Religious Sisters of Charity in Cork. The original hospital was built on the north side of the city but the service relocated in 2011 to purpose-built, modern, high-quality facilities in Curraheen, Cork. Marymount is an independent voluntary hospital with University status and is a registered charity and company limited by guarantee. As the specialist palliative care service for Cork city and county, Marymount Hospice serves as a centre for coordinating the delivery of palliative care services across all care settings in Cork. It is also closely allied to the specialist palliative care services in Kerry.

About Cork City Marathon 2025

Organised by Cork City Council, the marathon has three distances: the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K race. The routes weave through Cork City’s scenic and vibrant streets and suburbs, past iconic landmarks and along the bustling quays. The incredible support from Corkonians lining the streets, paired with the camaraderie among participants, guarantees a memorable day for all.

The Cork City Marathon is open to all, from elite athletes chasing records to first-time runners tackling personal goals. It's more than a race—it’s about community, resilience, and making a difference.

Building on the €200,000 raised for 58 charity partners in 2024, we aim to double this target in the coming years. With our new tagline ‘Your Race, Their Hope.’ We encourage participants to run for causes close to their hearts, making every stride on June 1 count towards vital, life-changing work.
 
As a full member of AIMs the Cork marathon is IAAF certified.
