✨ Transplant recipients running in honour of their donors
✨ Women currently on dialysis

✨ Healthcare workers who care for kidney patients every day
✨ Families walking in memory of loved ones lost to kidney disease

We’re really looking forward to welcoming lots of our lovely ladies for a special pre-race breakfast at the Iveagh Garden Hotel tomorrow morning for a chance to share stories, calm the nerves, and celebrate the strength of this amazing community of women 💪💬

Every woman running for in the Vhi Women's Mini Marathon is carrying more than a race number, she’s carrying a story 💜

We are so deeply grateful for every woman lacing up her runners for the . They’ve put in the miles, made time between work, family and life, and now all that’s left is to show up on the day and give it their all🏃‍♀️✨

Many are running because kidney disease has touched their own lives or the life of someone they love. Their steps help fund the IKA’s counselling, patient support, holidays, advocacy and support services for kidney patients and their families across Ireland.

If you’re able, they would really value your support. Every donation, big or small, helps us make life a little more comfortable for those living with kidney disease.

Because of you, the message of organ donation reached right across Ireland 💚

To our members sharing information in community spaces, to local pharmacies proudly displaying posters and Organ Donor Cards, to workplaces hosting organ donation talks, to landmarks lighting up green from dusk to dawn, and to families and individuals bravely sharing their own stories on radio, in newspapers, on TV and across social media. You helped bring the 'Organ Donation Conversation' into homes nationwide 🏡👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
