Karen Fenton Memorial Run 2025

The Karen Fenton fund will be hosting the annual fundraising run on April 13th.The funds raised from this run will continue to go to ovarian cancer research and support.

Recently, we donated €50,000 to Breakthrough Cancer Research and specifically to support research exploring how to improve immune therapies, especially by boosting weakened "natural killer" cells, to better fight high-grade serous ovarian cancer in patients who don't respond to current treatments. This three year project is being led by Dr. Sharon O’Toole (Trinity College Dublin) and is co-funded by Breakthrough Cancer Research and the HRB. The photo features Orla Dolan, CEO Breakthrough Cancer Research and Dr. Frances Drummond, Research Manager.

In addition, we continue to support Anam Cara - a parental bereavement service that has been of particular help to Karen's parents. Photo attached from a recent meeting with Anam Cara CEO Michelle Reynolds.

We are very grateful for all donations received through the GlobalGiving platform.

Thanks to everyone who has supported our fund over the past few years.
