Meet our Runners 🏃 First up: Sean Coffey, taking on the Dublin Marathon on October 25th for St John of God Foundation.

Sean's son Noah attends Kildarton specialised pre-school, and this October, Sean is lacing up to help raise vital funds and awareness for the services that support children like Noah every day.

We are blown away by our community, families, friends and supporters, giving their time, their training hours and their hearts to fundraise for us. Every mile run, every euro raised, makes a real difference to the children and families we support.

Follow along as we meet more of our incredible runners over the next few weeks.

People like Denis remind us why community matters👏

By taking on a 42.6km run from Bray to Howth, Denis raised an incredible €1,820 for Family Therapy Services at St John of God University Hospital.

We're continually inspired by those who give their time, energy and passion to support St John of God. Whether it's a marathon, a coffee morning, a cycle or a local event, every effort helps us continue providing vital services to the people and families who rely on them.

Thank you, Denis, for championing the cause and bringing so many people together in support of it🎽🙏
