Catherine Flanagan fundraising for Cliona's Foundation in Dublin City Half Marathon 2025
I feel blessed and privileged at the age of 67 years to run my first half marathon at the end of March for the Cliona’s foundation. It was set up by the Rings after the death of their daughter. The money goes directly to help parents of seriously sick children to assist with the additional day to day expenses. Please Please support me on the run so we can help support others who are less fortunate. Thank you for your support. Catherine.
About Cliona's Foundation
Cliona's Foundation provides nationwide financial assistance to families of seriously sick children to help with the non medical costs of caring for their child while in hospital or at home
These costs include but are not limited to accommodation, travel, car parking, food, childcare, specialist equipment and much more.
For many of these families one of the parents has to give up work to care for their child reducing the household income & placing significant financial pressure on them.
Cliona’s Foundation believes that no family should have to face any added financial stress, when already struggling with the devastation and trauma of a seriously ill child.
Cliona’s Foundation relies 100% on income raised through a range of activities including events & fundraising, corporate donations, philanthropy & private donations and charity partnership & have supported over 1,500 families over the past 16 years - 216 in 2024 .
Thank you for your support
