This is about bringing runners together to make a life-saving difference.

The Mater Hospital is the national centre for lung health in Ireland. We are also the national centre for adult emergency respiratory life support (ECMO) and the home of the national lung transplant unit.

Our brave staff are at the centre of the fight to stop the spread of Covid-19.

Over the coming weeks and months they will treat large numbers of Covid-19 patients while also caring for other patients with life threatening conditions.

One of the greatest needs for staff in the weeks and months ahead is ensuring that they have the supports they need to help them to deal with the psychological and emotional trauma that they will have to deal with, their mental health.

Many of them will contract Covid-19 and become ill themselves as they are treating their patients.

We have some of the best doctors, nurses and support staff in the in world working in our hospitals.

As the Taoiseach said “not all heroes wear capes, some wear scrubs and gowns”.

They spend their lives putting others before themselves. But the reality is, if they fall down we all fall down.

Now is our time to help them.

Please donate whatever you can. Every little helps!
