Kate Lenehan fundraising for Her Sport Foundation in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2025

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Your support is hugely appreciated! - 1 in 5 girls drop out of sport by the age of 14, compared to 1 in 20 boys. - Girls who play sport are 2.5x less likely to suffer from mental health disorders. - Less than 10% of sports media coverage is given to women in sport. - 94% of women in executive managerial positions have a background in sport. It's clear how important it is to keep girls and women in sport when it comes to their health as well as gender equality. HerSport does incredible work to increase the coverage of women in sport in the media. But they are so much more than a media platform. They carry out workshops across the country for girls, women, parents & coaches in order to keep more girls in sport. This is why I have decided to run the Dublin Marathon for the HerSport Foundation. I really appreciate each and every donation. Thank you!

About Her Sport Foundation

Every year in Ireland, one in five girls drops out of sport between primary and secondary school. By the age of 20, one in two young women has stopped playing sport altogether.

Behind every number is a girl missing out on the confidence, friendships and opportunities that sport creates. Sport builds resilience, leadership and belonging. It shapes careers and strengthens communities.

Girls who play sport, become women who lead - research shows that 94% of women in executive leadership roles played sport growing up.

Yet too many girls are pushed out of sport before they realise what they are capable of.

The Her Sport Foundation exists to change that.
