Emer Organ fundraising for Irish Cancer Society

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I’ve signed up to run the Dublin City Marathon in aid of the Irish Cancer Society on the 27th October 2024. I will be running in memory of my Dad who would have turned 70 this October but sadly passed away in February 2021 after a short battle with cancer. This will be my first ever marathon and I’m already worried about the amount of training that will be involved to get me over the finish line! Your support and sponsorship is really appreciated and will hopefully keep me motivated on my long runs! Please feel free to share and promote my page so I can raise as much funds as possible for the Irish Cancer Society. Many thanks for your support, Emer

About The Cause

Find out more

Cancer is the most common cause of death in Ireland with more than 9,000 people dying each year. That's almost 25 people dying from cancer every day across Ireland. An average of 1 person every hour. However, thanks to earlier detection, improved care and targeted treatments, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Today, there are 200,000 cancer survivors in Ireland. The Irish Cancer Society are working towards a future where nobody dies from cancer, and everyone affected by the disease will have access to world class treatment and support. Typically receiving only 5% of income from the Government, your support helps provide key services to ensure no one has to face cancer alone and funds vital cancer research with over €30 million invested since 2010.
