Fundraising for LauraLynn

LauraLynn is Run and Ride 2021’s charity partner and we encourage everyone taking part to fundraise or give a donation to this most worthy of causes.

LauraLynn is Ireland’s only Children’s Hospice, providing palliative and hospice care and support for children with life-limiting conditions and their families from all across Ireland.

LauraLynn, provides a range of services including, symptom management for children, music and play therapy, psychological support, family and sibling camps, short breaks, Crisis Care and End of Life Care.

Care can be availed of in their specialised hospice in Leopardstown, Co. Dublin at hospital, in the community, or in the family home, depending on the location and medical needs of the child and the family’s preference. 

LauraLynn provides vital bereavement supports to families after they have lost a child. LauraLynn also undertakes research into the relatively new area of children’s palliative care.

LauraLynn relies primarily on fundraised income and this year alone must generate €5.5 million through fundraised income. Since opening in 2011, LauraLynn has cared for almost 481 children and their families, with 374 children and families currently availing of care & supports.
