Linda Lanagan fundraising for The Mater Hospital Foundation

In January, my amazing husband James passed away after a brave fight with ALK+ lung cancer. He faced his illness with strength, humour, and a quiet resilience that carried our family through the hardest days. Running the Dublin Marathon will be quite a challenge for me, but it's small compared to what James endured. Every mile I run is for James, for our family, and for others who are facing this illness. I’m raising funds for the Mater Foundation to help ensure that other families receive the same level of care, support, and hope that we did at the Mater Hospital. If you can, please consider supporting this cause. Your generosity will make a real difference. Thank you.
