Cassie Cashman fundraising for Marymount University Hospice in Analog Devices Cork City Marathon 2026
I am running a half marathon in memory of my amazing mam, Marguerite. She was the kindest and most caring person, although she would absolutely be cursing me now out of fear that I might injure myself! She fought cancer with incredible bravery and strength, supported every step of the way by the wonderful staff at Marymount Hospice, whose care and compassion meant so much to my sisters and I. This run is my way of honouring her memory and giving something back in her name. Any donation, no matter how small, will help support the amazing work they do for patients and families during the most difficult times. Thank you so much for your kindness, support, and generosity, it truly means the world to me and my amazing sisters. ❤️❤️
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 Analog Devices Cork City Marathon 2026
Organised by Cork City Council, the Analog Devices Cork City 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 Analog Devices 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 €300,000 raised for 70 charity partners in 2025, 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 May 31st count towards vital, life-changing work.
