Each year the run is held in memory of Fiona Moore who passed away at the age of 16 in May 2013 from Pulmonary Hypertension, while waiting on a lung transplant.

Previous beneficiaries of the run were Make-a –Wish, Heart Children Ireland, Barretstown and Ronald McDonald House and now well over €40,000 has been collected for great causes.
