LauraLynn, Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice, has launched its new 24‑Hour Challenge, an expanded evolution of its popular Treadmill Challenge, with broadcaster Lorraine Keane, GAA star Pádraig O’Hora, and LauraLynn Nurse Kate Hourigan joined by Emily Ahearne and her mum Ann, who attend LauraLynn, to officially kick off this year’s campaign.
The VHI Women’s Mini Marathon is a 10km walk, jog, or run race event held annually in Dublin. This year’s race will take part on Sunday, May 31st 2026.
A fundamental principle of children’s hospice care is that support is provided not only to the child but to the whole family.
LauraLynn is honoured to be recognised in two categories at the upcoming Irish Healthcare Centre Awards, celebrating our Community Care Services and our innovative approach to disability respite care.
When weather warnings forced the cancellation of our planned outdoor campus parade, the LauraLynn team quickly brought the magic indoors for an unforgettable St. Patrick's Day celebration.
LauraLynn is proud to have been awarded the 2026 Triple Lock certification by the Charities Institute Ireland, recognising our ongoing commitment to transparency, ethical fundraising, and good governance.
