Jesse Kennedy fundraising for Make-A-Wish Ireland
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 Make-A-Wish Ireland
Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim – to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.
Make-A-Wish does not receive any government funding and relies on the generosity of people like you to continue granting wishes. Make-A-Wish Ireland has granted over 3000 wishes since 1992. Every wish is unique and designed by our wish team and volunteers specifically for each child to hold special meaning to them. We can’t overstate the difference a wish can make to a sick child, bringing them strength, happiness and above all hope. These experiences create lasting memories for young people living with life-threatening illnesses and your donation plays an important part in that.
We have much to do, with applications for wishes continuing to rise and over 250 children on our waiting list find out more here.
