Jason Harding fundraising for Oscar's Kids Ireland in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026
This year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 — for something bigger than myself. 26.2 miles. That’s the distance between comfort and courage, between an ordinary day and a moment that could truly change lives. Every mile I run is a reminder of why I’m doing this — to make a real difference for those who need it most. It’s not just about crossing a finish line; it’s about showing up, pushing through, and turning effort into impact. Your support — whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on — means more than words can say. Together, we can take every step a little further. Every mile matters. Every gesture helps. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
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.
