Samantha Doyle fundraising for Children in Hospital 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 Children in Hospital Ireland

Children in Hospital Ireland supports children and their families in healthcare settings throughout Ireland through play, advocacy, and education. Since 1970, our mission has been to promote the wellbeing of children within the healthcare system. We work to provide information and support to parents and carers, and advocate on behalf of children and their families. In addition, we aim to make the hospital a happier place for children and young people by providing volunteer-led play and recreation services. The work of Children in Hospital Ireland is firmly rooted in and inspired by the lived experience of children in hospital and their families, and the knowledge and insights of our volunteers and supporters.
