The Murtagh Family fundraising for Irish Sepsis Foundation in Analog Devices Cork City Marathon 2026

We are taking part in Cork City Marathon on May 31st in memory of our beloved Alanna who tragically lost her life to sepsis on March 1st 2024, at the age of 24. Alanna was taken from us far too soon, and we want to honour her by raising vital funds for the Irish Sepsis Foundation, an organisation dedicated to increasing awareness, improving early detection, and supporting those affected by this silent killer. Sepsis can affect anyone, and early recognition is key to saving lives. By donating, you are helping to fund crucial education and research that could prevent more families from experiencing this heartbreaking loss. Every step we take on race day is for Alanna, and every euro raised here will go directly to this great cause. We hope that you can help us by donating whatever you can. Simply click the Donate button. All donations are processed securely. You can also share our page using the Share options. This is a great way to show your support. Thank you!

About Irish Sepsis Foundation

Find out more
The Irish Sepsis Foundation was established in 2022 to raise awareness of Sepsis, a life-threatening condition that can affect anyone, at any time. Founded by barrister Doireann O’Mahony, the charity is driven by survivors, families, and healthcare advocates united by one mission — to save lives through education, advocacy, and early recognition. The Foundation works nationwide to increase public awareness, support families impacted by Sepsis, and collaborate with healthcare professionals to improve outcomes. Through campaigns, community events, and partnerships, we aim to ensure that no life is lost to Sepsis due to lack of awareness or understanding.
