I am running my first half marathon in Dublin on May 3rd with the hope of raising money for an incredible charity. Oscar’s Kids Ireland provides support to children facing cancer, and their families. They do this through the gifting of tailored treats and experiences which bring joy during the most difficult of times. They also provide emotional support and the building of a community through which families can support each other through their individual journeys. Your support is really appreciated!

About Oscar's Kids Ireland

Oscar's Kids is a paediatric cancer charity that works directly with children and their families to support them as they navigate a journey with cancer. We do this through the gifting of tailored treats and experiences to positively impact what can be an immensely difficult and prolonged timeframe with the illness, alongside emotional support and the building of a community of similar families and peers who support each other throughout their individual journeys. Our inspiration is taken from our own son, Oscar, who died in 2019 from an inoperable brain tumour. Oscar showed us the value and importance of finding joy in every day, even on those darkest days. Through Oscar's Kids we want to provide some of Oscar's magic to all children in Ireland living with cancer. We also provide funding towards ongoing paediatric cancer research.
