Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association Fundraiser

10 Jul 2026

The UCC Sports Department in association with the Mardyke Walking Football Group are organising a Six Hour Walking Football Marathon at the Mardyke Sports Grounds on Saturday 25th July from 10.00am - 4.00pm  in aid of the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association.

The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association (IMNDA) is the only organisation in Ireland dedicated to supporting people living with MND, their families, and their carers. They provide vital services, specialised equipment, and specialised nursing care to over 400 people across the country currently living with MND. This is a terminal condition. To help ensure they can continue this essential work, we are organising a fundraising Walking Football Marathon and we would be deeply grateful for the support of our University Community. All funds raised will go directly to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association through the iDonate.ie platform.
