Biobank Ireland Team Complete Dublin City Marathon

Back to All News

After months of planning, training and pavement pounding our Biobank team ran Dublin City Marathon, raising an incredible €11,000 for Biobank Ireland.

While most of us were enjoying a lazy Bank Holiday Sunday, our team of 12 walked and ran a challenging 26 miles, raising much needed funds. All money raised will help promote a biobanking network in Ireland to bridge cancer research & care, gain a better understanding of cancer and to devise improved treatments. Well done and huge thanks to Alison Lee, Anne Burnham, Ciaran Flanagan, Geraldine Lynham, James Caffrey, John Quigley, Loraine Grant, Mark Sheehan, Martina Galligan, Michael O’ Brien, Teresa Ennis and Will Mullin who did us proud!

Well done to all involved and to those that sponsored our marathon champs! Want to start a fitness challenge while raising vital funds to support Biobank Ireland? Get in touch!
