John Teahan fundraising for Irish Cancer Society in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2024
This year, I am taking on the challenge of running a marathon to support the Irish Cancer Society. This cause is deeply personal to me, as my dad is currently battling small-cell lung cancer. His positivity and resilience inspire me, and I want to honour him by raising funds to support those affected by cancer. Every donation, big or small, will go directly to the Irish Cancer Society to help fund research, provide support services, and offer hope to patients and their families during their most challenging times. Your support means the world to me and to everyone fighting this disease. Thank you for joining me in this fight and helping to make a difference.

About Irish Cancer Society
Cancer is the most common cause of death in Ireland with more than 9,000 people dying each year. That's almost 25 people dying from cancer every day across Ireland. An average of 1 person every hour.
However, thanks to earlier detection, improved care and targeted treatments, more people are surviving cancer than ever before. Today, there are 200,000 cancer survivors in Ireland.
The Irish Cancer Society are working towards a future where nobody dies from cancer, and everyone affected by the disease will have access to world class treatment and support.
Typically receiving only 5% of income from the Government, your support helps provide key services to ensure no one has to face cancer alone and funds vital cancer research with over €30 million invested since 2010.
