Become a Temple Street Children's University Hospital Mini Marathon Mum
Calling all mums, young and old to join our Team! This year, the fundraising office at Temple Street Children's University Hospital are calling on mums to join the Temple Street team for the Women's Mini Marathon in order to raise much needed funds for the Hospital. And if you are not a mum, but are a sister, aunt or godmother, then come on and join in the fun for Temple Street!
This year, the fundraising office needs to buy vital life-saving equipment for the hospital including ventilators and patient monitors for all wards and the Intensive Care Unit.
Susan Bradley, Community Fundraiser for the Hospital said, "The Women's Mini Marathon continues to be one of the biggest events on our fundraising calendar. This year we hope that more than 1,000 women will come out in force to support the Temple Street campaign. We are calling on all Mums to walk, jog or run this event for our Hospital - it will be great fun on the day and is also a super way to get fit over the coming weeks and months."
Registration for the Women's Mini Marathon opens on the 22nd of February and closes on the 20th of April.

Aer Arann Islands calls on you to go the Extra Mile
Half Marathon to raise funds for Temple Street 
Aer Arann Islands are gearing up for a major fundraising effort this April, when they will once again support the annual Aer Arann Islands Half Marathon, in an effort to raise much needed funds for Temple Street Children’s University Hospital.
Celebrating its 12th year, this unique event has been an outstanding success, and Aer Arann Islands expect 2012 to be no exception. With a maximum number of entrants limited to 150, participants are encouraged to get their names down and entry forms in as soon as possible.
The Half Marathon has successfully raised funds that have made a real difference, last year enabling Temple Street Children’s University Hospital to purchase vital pieces of equipment for the Neurosurgery department with a combined cost of €120,000.
With the fundraising this year focused on two ICU Specification Patient Monitoring Units for the Intensive Care Department, Angela McNulty, Special Events Manager at Temple Street CUH, is excited to be working once again with Aer Arann Islands, “This is a truly special fundraising event which we are delighted to be involved with. A gathering of friends old and new join together to experience the magic that is Inis Mor, for Temple Street Children’s University Hospital. We have been very lucky to have the team in Aer Arann Islands, its fundraising committee and the people of Inis Mor in our book of friends.”
Picture Perfect for Temple Street Children’s Hospital!

The ‘spooky spotlights' are great fun for children to use whilst trick or treating this Halloween and Temple Street volunteers will be taking to the streets from 17th October to sell the key rings.
