Hi! I’m Susan, from Galway and this year, I’m running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 for the National Breast Cancer Research Institute. This is an incredible cause that supports so many people and drives the change and research that is needed to save lives. The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is based in Galway, close to home, and funds it’s incredible research largely through fundraising initiatives. By running the Dublin Marathon and fundraising for this wonderful cause, I hope to make a real difference for those who need it and to support the NBCRI in their research. Your support, whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply cheering me on means more than words can say. 💗

These women are our mothers, daughters, sisters, grandmothers, friends and neighbours. We know these women, they play major roles in our lives. The National Breast Cancer Research Institute is a national charity that funds a comprehensive research programme at the University of Galway. We know that breast cancer research has improved the diagnosis, treatment options, and outcomes for those who develop the disease. We want to fund these research programmes to continue to impact the outcomes for those who develop the disease in the future. The research team, in collaboration with universities and hospitals across the globe, focuses on the development & improvement of diagnostic techniques and treatment strategies, to drive real and measurable improvement in clinical outcomes for breast cancer patients.
