At MHP Sellors, our commitment to the Mid-West community has always been about more than providing expert legal counsel – it is about showing when it matters most. That is why we are proud to announce that, for the third year running, we are jointly organising and fully sponsoring the Annual 5km Fun Run for Cliona’s Foundation alongside our fantastic co-hosts, Metis Ireland Financial Planning and Forvis Mazars. Together as a unified professional front, we are championing this vital cause.

For those who may not be familiar with their extraordinary work, Cliona’s Foundation is a Limerick-based national charity that provides essential financial assistance to families of seriously ill children.

When a child falls critically ill, the emotional toll on a family is unimaginable. Compounding that with the hidden financial pressures of travel, accommodation, and specialised care can cause total devastation. Cliona’s steps into that gap. Operating completely without government funding, grassroots events like this fun run are their absolute lifeline.

Our Managing Partner, Stephen Keogh, put it perfectly at the event launch at the Limerick Chamber of Commerce:

We are delighted to once again be involved in the Run for Cliona’s Foundation, with this marking our third year supporting this fantastic event. On September 10th, we encourage everyone to swap their evening commute for a meaningful cause. We are calling on businesses across the Mid-West – from startups to multinationals – to lace up and make a real difference. Whether you run, walk, or simply take part, what matters most is showing up.

Paddy O’Halloran, Director at Metis Ireland, echoed that sentiment, emphasising the collaborative effort to build a community legacy:

Our ambition is to make the Run for Cliona’s a lasting tradition. Together with MHP Sellors and Forvis Mazars, we want to establish this Fun Run as a highlight of the annual calendar – an event that grows stronger each year.

This event is a fantastic opportunity for the Mid-West business community to “tog off” after a long day in the office, focus on wellness, and network with fellow professionals.

• Date & Time: Thursday, September 10th. On-site check-in opens at 5:00 PM; the run starts at 6:30 PM.

• The Route: Starting at the Clayton Hotel, Limerick, the scenic 5km route crosses the Shannon Bridge, heads out along the embankment of the Condell Road for 2.5km, and returns along the same path.

• Base Camp: The Clayton Hotel will serve as our event hub. Participants can securely leave their personal belongings, avail of the changing facilities, and join us afterward for refreshments, light bites, and networking.

• Registration: Entry is €25, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to Cliona’s Foundation. Plus, the first 100 people to register will bag a commemorative event T-shirt!

We invite our peers in the Limerick and Mid-West business sectors to join us, Metis Ireland, and Forvis Mazars on the starting line. You can support the initiative by covering entry fees for your corporate team, putting up a friendly cross-company challenge, or simply making a contribution if your team can’t make it on the night.

Every step we take along the Shannon on September 10th tells these families that they do not have to walk this difficult journey alone.
