Fionnuala Mulroy fundraising for The Mater Hospital Foundation with Team Robbie in Aer Arann Islands Half Marathon 2026

As many of you will know, my nephew Robbie attended the Mater Hospital for a number of years and received a double lung transplant there last July . After bravely battling through a challenging recovery, we sadly said goodbye to Robbie on February 19th. On April 11th, alongside Robbie’s amazing parents Aileen & John, his siblings Kelly, Ciarán & Nicole , family members and friends, I will be taking part in the Aer Arann Half Marathon on Inismór, Aran Islands to raise funds for patient care in aid of the Mater Foundation, and in gratitude for the exceptional care and compassion shown to Robbie and his family throughout his 8 year journey since diagnosis. Any donation or sharing this event page would be greatly appreciated as “Team Robbie” walk the 13 short miles together on what will be a poignant but meaningful day in his memory. Thank you sincerely for your support x #TeamRobbie #YNWA ❤️🤍
