** Due to the Covid-19 virus Med Day has been postponed. New date TBC **

UCC Med Day takes place on 11th April 2020 with all proceeds going directly to Stroke Services at Cork University Hospital (CUH), the Cork Stroke Support Group (CSSG) located at St Finbarr’s Hospital and Surgeon Noonan.

Now entering its second year, the inaugural UCC Med Day took place on 13th April 2019. The event is an annual fundraiser modelled on the Med Days run by students of UCD and Trinity College, which each year raise vital funds for the college’s charity of choice. Coordinated and managed entirely by members of the UCC Medical Society, UCC’s Med Day is based on the same ethos and will see UCC students volunteering their time for these very worthy causes.

** This event has been postponed due to the Covid- 19 virus.  New date TBC **

The annual 5km Karen Fenton Memorial Run will take place on the 19th of April at 12.30pm in Ballinora, Waterfall, Co Cork. The run is being organised and hosted by the Fenton Family, in association with St Finbarr’s AC, in memory of Karen Fenton, who passed away from ovarian cancer, on the 30th of April 2017, aged 43.

The run, now in it’s third year, receives wonderful support from the community and sponsors. Cork’s RedFM will once again be the media partner for the event. Funds raised will go towards the purchasing of a Sequencing Machine, which analyses cancer mutations and finds new precise treatments for patients.
