Mrs Deirdre Phillips fundraising for Childhood Cancer 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 Childhood Cancer Ireland

Childhood Cancer Foundation was founded in 2013 by a group of parents and family members of children with cancer. We are a voluntary, parent-led organisation, we are non-government funded. In August 2022 we were delighted to join together with CanCare4Living, a charity for survivors of childhood cancer, under the new name Childhood Cancer Ireland. We will continue to represent the voice of children, adolescents and young adults with cancer, survivors and their families as the national parent and survivor-led childhood cancer charity. Bringing our two charities together creates a unified and even stronger voice for everyone affected by childhood cancer and we are pleased that Childhood Cancer Ireland will reflect the life-long impact of childhood cancer - from diagnosis to treatment and into survivorship and adulthood. Through the generosity of our donors we are proud to fund supports and services for children with cancer and their families.
