Kilometres for Kids ING New York City Marathon - 28 March 2012

Irish cycling legend Stephen Roche has lent his support to the 'Fix Crumlin' campaign which aims to raise the €8 million required to carry out essential upgrading of the cardiac and cancer units at Our Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin.

Our  national fundraising campaign moved up a gear with the announcement that Roche - who this year celebrates the 25th anniversary of his Giro d'Italia, Tour de France and World Championships treble - has joined another Irish sporting legend, Eamon Coghlan, to launch our new fundraising initiative titled 'Kilometres for Kids'.

‘Kilometres for Kids’ is a series of challenges in Ireland and overseas where, through sponsorship, participants will be directly translating your kilometres into vital funds required to ‘Fix Crumlin’, thereby providing state-of-the art facilities for our seriously ill children.

Together, Stephen and Eamon are inviting Irish cyclists, runners and walkers of all levels to join them in one or both of the following events – The Kilometres for Kids Cycling Challenge with Stephen Roche which takes place at Stephen’s cycling camp on the island of Mallorca from 6th - 13th October and The Kilometres for Kids New York City Marathon with Team Eamon Coghlan from 1st - 7th November.

At Stephen’s Cycling Camp in Mallorca, participants will join cycling legend, Stephen Roche and his team for a week-long Cycling Challenge that will celebrate the 25th anniversary of one of the greatest years in Irish cycling history – 1987, when Stephen became only the second cyclist in history to win the Triple Crown of Victories - the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and the World Championship, all within the same year. 

In ‘The Big Apple’, participants will team up with three-time Olympian and former world champion athlete, Eamon Coghlan to run in the famed NYC Marathon which, this year, celebrates the 20th anniversary of Team Coghlan’s first involvement in what has become the world’s biggest marathon. Open to participants of all levels, those joining Eamonn’s team will have the option of running, jogging or walking through the five boroughs of New York City as they absorb the sights and sounds of the city.

"If you’re already active or looking to get fit, this is an ideal opportunity to get on your bike and ensure that the effort put in converts into urgent funds needed to fix the cramped outdated facilities at Crumlin," he added

Echoing this comment, Eamon Coghlan added: ‘The NYC marathon is a truly memorable event for runners and walkers of all levels. It’s all about being part of something that’s bigger than yourself while helping those who need it most. The NYC marathon is a truly international event with fundraisers from over 40 countries taking part. The sense of achievement you get is incredible which is why I’ve been involved for 20 years.

Up to June 2009 he was training for the Dublin City Marathon in October 2009, and was expecting a personal best time.  Rory had been receiving treatment for a brain tumour since 2005.

Climb For Kids - Mount Kilimanjaro Pedometer Challenge 2010

Day 4 was what can only be described as disastrous! On leaving work I noted my pedometer had racked up over 3,000 steps, being on the post run clearly helped boost my steps. Unfortunately while I was out later on that evening I looked at my pedometer to find I had only 136 steps taken!!! I had managed to reset my pedometer accidentally in my pocket. Needless to say I was heartbroken that my efforts for the whole day couldn’t be recorded.

It had been said to me by some members of the CMRF staff that if you rack up your steps while wearing high heels your steps should be tripled, and after last night I wholeheartedly agree. My feet are sore and I feel like I have climbed Kilimanjaro twice in the one night and to top it off I have no steps to show for it. The only thing that eases the blow is knowing that while the team are climbing the real Mount Kilimanjaro I’m sure they will wish they were just running around in a pair of heels. It’s probably nothing compared to what they’re in for.

Johann Fox is the project manager and will be climbing Mt Kilimanjaro along with the rest of the team. He has been blogging the team’s training, you can read all about their hardships here http://cmrfcrumlin.tumblr.com/

Climb for Kids -Mount Kilimanjaro Pedometer Challenge - 26 September 2010

Climb For Kids - Mount Kilimanjaro Pedometer Challenge 2010

Day 3 of my pedometer challenge was not nearly as successful as day 2. Even with my pointless attempts to run for cover from the rain I only managed 1,974 steps. Still that brings my total so far to 15,357 only 23,543 left, that’s almost half the distance the team will go up Mount Kilimanjaro! It’s amazing how all the steps you take through out the day add up. I thought I did a lot of running around yesterday compared to the day before but the difference in steps is indisputable I clearly wasn’t! Hopefully since I was on the post run today I’ll have some more steps racked up!

If you would like to join me and start “kinda” climbing your own Mount Kilimanjaro please log onto http://www.cmrf.org/event/show/3768 or locall 1890 507 508

Climb for Kids -Mount Kilimanjaro Pedometer Challenge - 23 September 2010

Hannah- Day 2 of my Climb For Kids Mount Kilimanjaro Pedometer Challenge 2010

Yesterday was my second day “kinda” climbing Kili and I made a conscious effort to run upstairs to deliver messages instead of e-mailing them or picking up the phone. It made a huge difference to the amount of steps I took. Yesterday I managed a whopping 11,423 steps!

Yesterday was also my first day counting the meters I climb in the gym. After 20 minutes on the treadmill and another 20 on the crosstrainer (which is my personal favourite to hate) I managed to climb 1,018 meters!

I was tired and sore heading home but I felt great knowing that what I was doing would make a difference in the lives of children in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital. I also had a new appreciation for the challenge the Team from Crumlin face as they climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Considering I found it difficult in a nice air conditioned gym, I can only imagine the hardship they face with a much shorter amount of time to complete the challenge, the freezing temperatures and added altitude sickness!

Best of luck to all the brave team heading off from CMRF! It’s no wonder you are all training so hard in preparation.

Climb for Kids -Mount Kilimanjaro Pedometer Challenge - 22 September 2010

My name is Hannah and I work in development and support for the Children's Medical & Research Foundation, Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, - I’ve decided to take on the challenge to “kinda” climb Kili with the Team that are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro this October. It will take them approx 38,900 steps to reach the summit of 19,450 ft! We will reach the summit on the 15th of October. I will use my lovely 2FM pedometer to count my steps here in Ireland. While our team battle sub zero temperatures and altitude sickness I will be running up and down the stairs in our building several times to rack up my number of steps!

If you would like more information on the National Pedometer Challenge please check out our website www.cmrf.org or locall us on 1890 507 508

As an added personal challenge I am going to try climb the same height as the team. It averages out at about 228 meters a day so hopefully I will climb 456m every second day!

Yesterday I managed 1,960 steps only 36,940 left to go…

We are holding a charity event in memory of our son Oran who passed away in Our Lady's on the 19th May 2010 just three days old having gone a full term pregnancy. Oran was diagnosed with congenital heart defects known as "Hypo-plastic Left Heart Syndrome" and "Total Anomolous Pulmonary Drainage", which meant his heart was under-developed and in turn this affected his brain functions and meant he wouldn't be strong enough for surgery. The event is a Head Shaving/Chest or Leg Waxing night.It will take place on Saturday 6th November, in The Mill Bar, Bealnamullia, Athlone.All proceeds will go to the Paediatrics Intensive Care Unit on floor 2 where Oran was taken care of by the most kindred of spirits.And this is out way of making our Son's name live on by giving back to the hospital. Every one welcome.
