Hi everyone,
We are running the mini-marathon this year in partnership with the Mater Foundation. With your support we hope to raise money to support access to cold caps and scalp cooling systems for patients undergoing chemotherapy. These systems can help to prevent and reduce hair loss, which can be one of the most visible and emotionally challenging parts of the patient journey.
By donating what you can or sharing this post you are helping to support this cause!
Thank you to everyone for your support!

Israel continues to murder and attack our colleagues in Gaza as well as mass kidnapping ordinary citizens last night, in international waters.
THERE MUST BE SANCTIONS NOW.
Deliberate targeting of healthcare workers is a WAR CRIME.
Hospitals are supposed to be protected spaces.
There is nowhere safe in Gaza and the world continues to do nothing.
What can you do?
In Ireland : Contact your TD’s. Israel must be sanctioned.
Tell them the Occupied Territories Bill must be passed in full - Ireland should not be funding this genocide.
Shannon airport and Irish airspace SHOULD NOT be used to transport weapons to Israel.
Ireland and the rest of the world :
BOYCOTT.
Cut off funding to the genocidal Israeli state since our governments won't.
Follow the BDS movement.
Israel has destroyed the healthcare system in Gaza.
They have murdered, abducted and tortured our colleagues.
