Carmel & James Moran fundraising for The Mater Hospital Foundation with Team Robbie in Aer Arann Islands Half Marathon 2026
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page for the 2026 Aer Arann Half Marathon, taking place this April on Inis Mór in support of patient care in the Mater Hospital. Your support truly means so much. This cause is very close to my heart. My late nephew, Robbie Cunningham, underwent a double lung transplant last July. During that incredibly difficult time, the care, compassion, and dedication shown by the team in the Mater Hospital meant everything to him and to our family. It’s hard to put into words the difference that level of care makes when you need it most. I’m taking part in this marathon in his memory and to help ensure others receive the same outstanding support. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity.
