‘Build for the Boys’ Family 5K

This event has ended

Phoenix Park, Saturday 25th April

The event is part of the ongoing fundraising campaign to build a future for Conor (Age 10) & Dean (age 9) – two young Lucan brothers who were diagnosed in recent years with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy – a rare, muscle wasting, degenerative condition that has no cure.

From 11am on April 26th, there will be a 5K Race (Chip timing by www.justrunsevents.ie) followed by a family lap. This family friendly event will also include a kids tent, music (DJ) and special guest comedian, Sir Malachy Murray!

SuperValu Lucan are sponsoring the event; and there will be a range of fantastic family passes to be won on the day – donated by FORT LUCAN, DUBLIN ZOO and more.

Every euro raised will help us to build a future for Conor and Dean.

A future in which we will make every effort to ensure that this life-limiting condition does not limit their dignity and their joy for living.
