Funds raised will go towards the renovation of Ireland’s largest free STI, HIV and infectious diseases service, the GUIDE Clinic, at St James’s Hospital, Dublin. The GUIDE clinic, which treats 27,000 patients per year, have been fund-raising in order to improve the infrastructure of the department since 2011. All monies raised from the 2016 Fun Run will enable them to revamp the facilities in order to continue to deliver world-class treatment to patients.
Last year, approximately 900 participants took part in the run, which takes place on 21 July at 7.45pm. To register, visit www.supportstjames.ie. Places are limited.
