The Mater Foundation, 100 Miles In A Month Challenge

Could you run 100 miles in February and raise funds for patient care in the Mater Hospital?

To support and encourage our staff to get up and get moving TEKenable will kindly donate €1000 first and then donate €1 for every mile completed (up to a max of €1000).

Funds raised by the Mater Foundation 100 Miles in a Month Challenge this February will go directly towards the Mater Hospital’s expansion of ICU beds in direct response to Covid-19 and hopes to alleviate some of the pressure on the hospital’s existing ICU which has 18 beds.

This will make a huge difference in the fight against Covid-19, giving more vulnerable patients a chance at recovery whilst also increasing the overall ICU bed capacity in the country.

When the pandemic ‘subsides’ this additional capacity will allow the hospital to increase activity and reduce waiting lists, ensuring better outcomes for all patients and families.
