Milford Care Centre is delighted to announce details of its 11th annual 10km run/walk, a key fundraising event to support Milford Care Centre services, which takes place on Sunday, February 12, with a start time of 12 noon.

Participants can take part in the event either by coming along to the start line or virtually.

The event, supported by Dell Technologies and Stryker, is open to runners and walkers of all levels and abilities with the proceeds going directly to support the work of Milford Care Centre.

David Kilcoyne, Munster Rugby and Irish rugby International launching the event, said: “I am thrilled to be supporting and bring awareness to Milford Care Centre’s 10km run/walk this year. I am very proud to be associated with this event, the work carried out by Milford Care Centre in our community is extremely important and valuable to the Mid-West region.

“I hope you can support Milford in raising funds vital to the running of Milford Hospice. We look forward to seeing you on February 12.”

Mary O’Brien, CEO of Milford Care Centre explained: “Milford Care Centre is grateful for the support of Dell and Stryker in helping us to make this event a success. We are delighted to be planning the 10km run / walk for Milford Care Centre and look forward to participants joining us both onsite in Limerick and virtually from around Ireland and overseas.

Despite the challenges of navigating Covid throughout 2022, Milford Care Centre has been able to maintain its commitment to providing the highest quality of care across all its services.”

She thanked all those who had contributed to the centre this year, allowing them to continue providing specialist palliative care and older person services in the Mid-West.

“We are especially thankful to Dell for their continued support and to Stryker, who will be featured on our running tops for the first time. Finally, we are grateful to Munster Rugby and Ireland international David Kilcoyne for his support in promoting this event,” said Ms O’Brien.

The vice-president of fulfillment and logistics and Dell Technologies Campus leader, Sean O’Reilly, said they were delighted to support the event and to raise vital funds for its Hospice services. Dell Technologies has a long tradition of supporting community work locally and Milford Care Centre has long held a special place in the hearts and minds of all working at our campus in Limerick.
