Niall Caffrey fundraising for OvaCare in Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026

Two years ago, in April, I lost my mother after a brief battle with ovarian cancer. Her diagnosis caught us all off guard, she had shown no previous signs of illness that I was aware of before the previous September. That's why this year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 — for something bigger than myself. To both raise awareness about ovarian cancer, and raise funds to help support other families that are similarly affected by ovarian cancer. 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 OvaCare

OvaCare was co-founded by June Feeney and Rachel McKeon in 2011, following their own personal experiences with ovarian cancer. They both felt there was very little support in Ireland for women and their families affected by the disease, and they believed strongly that OvaCare could help provide this support as well as ‘giving a voice’ to the disease. At OvaCare we aim to give a voice to, and provide support for, all those affected by Ovarian Cancer in Ireland. Our Mission is to improve diagnosis and education of Ovarian Cancer in Ireland, through sharing global research and best practice, and providing support and advocacy through our dedicated support network. Our motto is ‘together we are stronger’! It is our goal to improve diagnosis and education of ovarian cancer within Ireland, through sharing global research and best practice, and providing support and advocacy through OvaCare’s dedicated support network.
