WANTED: Tipperary night owls needed for 24-hour charity treadmill challenge
LauraLynn, Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice, is on the look our for some nighttime heroes
LauraLynn are in need of some nighttime heroes from Tipperary to step up and fill the nighttime slots for its 24-Hour Treadmill Challenge.
The annual fundraiser, taking place on May 22/23, will be held at LauraLynn’s campus in Leopardstown, Dublin, and for the very first time at Virgin Media Park in Cork.
Nighttime hours are the longest and most challenging for families caring for children with life-limiting conditions, so by joining during these nighttime slots, participants can provide powerful support and solidarity for one night, making a significant impact.
With just over half of the available slots booked LauraLynn is calling on people in Tipperary, local community groups, business owners, and companies to sign up for the remaining slots to keep the treadmills in motion throughout the 24 hours.
LauraLynn CEO Kerry McLaverty says: "The 24-Hour Treadmill Challenge for 2025 is a vital event for raising funds and bringing our supporter community together.
"We are delighted to announce that we are over 50% booked out, but we still need participants to fill the remaining slots, especially during the nighttime hours.
"Every step taken during this challenge helps us provide essential care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
"We encourage everyone to join us, whether you're running, jogging, or walking, and make a meaningful impact."
