Run the Irish Life Dublin Marathon 2026 for Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust

 
 

Take on the challenge of the Dublin City Marathon 2026 while making a lasting difference for people affected by leukaemia and other serious blood disorders.

The Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust (BMLT) is inviting self-sponsored runners to join Team BMLT and raise vital funds to support patients and families throughout their stem cell transplant journey.

Every year, individuals and families face the life-changing reality of a blood cancer diagnosis. While a stem cell transplant can offer the best chance of recovery, the journey can be physically, emotionally and financially challenging. At Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust, we are committed to ensuring that no patient faces this journey alone.

Funds raised through the Dublin City Marathon help us continue providing practical support, reliable information, patient advocacy and financial assistance to those undergoing treatment and recovery. Every kilometre you run and every euro you raise helps us offer hope when it is needed most.

Whether you’re aiming for your first marathon or adding another finish line to your achievements, running for BMLT is an opportunity to turn your personal challenge into life-changing support for others. Fundraising is easy through platforms such as GoFundMe, allowing you to share your story and encourage friends, family and colleagues to get behind your efforts.

Bone Marrow Leukaemia Trust

We provide direct support for patients and their relatives – especially recognising the support needed for those coming from outside Dublin. We also support the running of the Haematology Department in St James’s Hospital, Dublin, in the National Allogeneic Transplant Center. It is the only location where an adult can receive a sibling or matched unrelated donor stem cell transplant.
