The VHI Women’s Mini Marathon

Thank You for Running to Spark Joy and Hope!

This June, more than 15 incredible women took to the streets of Dublin for the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon, running 10km with heart, purpose, and determination. We are beyond grateful to each and every one of you who laced up your runners in support of Make-A-Wish Ireland.

Thanks to your incredible dedication, over €7,000 was raised to help us continue granting wishes to children across Ireland living with critical illnesses. That’s not just a number. It represents hope, joy, and lasting memories for families going through some of the toughest times imaginable.

At Make-A-Wish Ireland, we believe in the power of a wish to transform lives. Whether it’s meeting your hero, going on an unforgettable trip, or being a princess or a firefighter for the day, these moments bring hope, strength, and happiness to children who need it most. And none of it would be possible without the support of passionate people like you.

To our amazing runners: you are wish-makers, change-bringers, and champions for children. Your footsteps carry more than your own determination, they carry the wishes of so many young children across Ireland.

From everyone at Make-A-Wish Ireland: Thank you for making a difference, one stride at a time.

Together we can make a difference for children.

Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim – to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.

With your kind support, you can help us achieve that aim.
