LauraLynn provides symptom management, planned short breaks, emergency and end-of-life care, as well as family supports and bereavement care. Care can be delivered in our purpose-built hospice in Dublin, at hospital, in the community, or in the family home.
The LauraLynn in the Community Team provides care and supports in the family home in the Leinster region, as well as a Cork-based team across Cork, Kerry and Limerick and a base in Ballinasloe providing care in the Midlands, West and Northwest.

LauraLynn care is provided completely free of charge to families and relies primarily on fundraised income to fund its hospice services. Thank you for your kind support.
About Analog Devices Cork City Marathon 2026
Organised by Cork City Council, the Analog Devices Cork City Marathon has three distances: the
Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and 10K race. The routes weave through Cork
City’s scenic and vibrant streets and suburbs, past iconic landmarks and along
the bustling quays. The incredible support from Corkonians lining the streets,
paired with the camaraderie among participants, guarantees a memorable day for
all.
The Analog Devices Cork City Marathon is open to all, from elite athletes chasing
records to first-time runners tackling personal goals. It's more than a
race—it’s about community, resilience, and making a difference.
Building on the €300,000 raised for 70 charity partners in 2025, we aim
to double this target in the coming years. With our new tagline ‘Your Race,
Their Hope.’ We encourage participants to run for causes close to their hearts,
making every stride on May 31st count towards vital, life-changing work.
As a full member of AIMs the Analog Devices Cork City Marathon is IAAF certified.
