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.

Charity fundraising has always been at the heart of the Dublin Marathon, with over €9 million raised each year by our amazing runners. Take part in the Irish Life Dublin Marathon and raise funds for a cause close to your heart!
