'100K in 30 Days' has teamed up with the Marie Keating Foundation to support its breast cancer services. Organisers are calling on the people of Cavan and Monaghan to sign-up for the June event.
Marie Keating lost her life to breast cancer 25 years ago and her son Ronan will be running 100K across the 30 days of June to raise awareness for the cause. 2023 is the fourth year of the event and to date over €4m has been raised for breast cancer services in Ireland.
This includes funding for the state-of-the-art Clinical Trial Centre in the new Breast Centre at Beaumont Hospital.
Ronan Keating said, "We are delighted to team up with 100K in 30 Days in aid of The Marie Keating Foundation's vital breast cancer services. We lost Mum 25 years ago, she was just 51. Mum's cancer was one of the most curable forms of breast cancer but unfortunately she didn't know enough about it.
"That's why it's crucial that we get the message out there of the importance of early detection, it can save your life! So much money has been raised by so many people over the last three years and The Marie Keating Foundation is very grateful to be the chosen charity for the 2023 100k in 30 Days challenge. We will do all we can to make this the best year yet."
