Take part in Milford fundraiser

Milford Care Centre is delighted to announce its annual 10km run/walk fundraiser, which will be held on Sunday, February 16.

Now celebrating its 13th year, we invite participants to join us in person at the starting line in Castletroy, Limerick, or to take part virtually from anywhere in Ireland and beyond.

This event, kindly supported by DELL Technologies and Stryker, welcomes runners and walkers of all levels and abilities with the proceeds directly supporting the work of Milford Care Centre in the Mid-West.

Irish Olympian and Limerick native Sarah Lavin, a longstanding advocate and supporter, officially launched Milford Care Centre’s annual 10km event, expressing her whole-hearted commitment to supporting and raising awareness for this cause. “I am excited to support and raise awareness for the crucial work done by Milford Care Centre. It is incredibly important and brings great value to the Mid-West region. I urge everyone to help Milford in raising the necessary funds for their services. We look forward to seeing you on February 16.”

Mary O’Brien, CEO of Milford Care Centre, conveyed her gratitude to DELL and Stryker for their steadfast support of this event. And her appreciation of the participants, “We are thrilled to welcome each participant to our first flagship fundraiser of 2025. Your participation and generosity are crucial in raising the vital funds needed for Milford Care Centre. Your unwavering support allows us to continue providing high quality specialist palliative care and older persons services in the Mid-West region. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved and wish all participants, whether near or far, the very best of success with our event.”

Sean O’Reilly, VP Fulfillment & Logistics and DELL Technologies Campus Leader, added: “We are proud to continue our support for Milford Care Centre’s annual 10km run/walk, aimed at raising funds for its services. At Dell Technologies, we have a rich history of engaging in community initiatives, and Milford Care Centre is particularly cherished by our team at the Limerick campus.
