Jennifer Barry fundraising for Down Syndrome Ireland in Cork City Marathon 2025

As a proud ambassador of Down syndrome Ireland, on the 1st of June 2025 I will be running the Cork City Half Marathon to raise vital funds for DSI, a charity that holds a special place in my heart. Down Syndrome Ireland provides essential services, advocacy, and support to people with Down syndrome and their families, helping them lead full, vibrant lives in our communities. Down Syndrome Ireland works tirelessly to create a more inclusive society, offering everything from early intervention programs and educational resources to career development and social programs for adults. Their impact changes lives—empowering individuals to achieve their potential, while also supporting families through every stage of life. Your donation, no matter the amount, will make a real difference. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, support and share this fundraiser, and I'll see you at the finish line.

About Cork City Marathon 2025

Organised by Cork City Council, the marathon has three distances: the Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K race. The routes weave through Cork City’s scenic and vibrant streets and suburbs, past iconic landmarks and along the bustling quays. The incredible support from Corkonians lining the streets, paired with the camaraderie among participants, guarantees a memorable day for all.

The Cork City Marathon is open to all, from elite athletes chasing records to first-time runners tackling personal goals. It's more than a race—it’s about community, resilience, and making a difference.

Building on the €200,000 raised for 58 charity partners in 2024, we aim to double this target in the coming years. With our new tagline ‘Your Race, Their Hope.’ We encourage participants to run for causes close to their hearts, making every stride on June 1 count towards vital, life-changing work.
 
As a full member of AIMs the Cork marathon is IAAF certified.
