Tara Smith fundraising for The Mater Hospital Foundation in Marilyns Mater Paddle 2026 as part of Waves of Hope

Thank you for visiting my Marilyn’s Mater Paddle fundraising page! On Sunday, May 24th, I’m embracing my inner Hollywood Icon and joining Ireland’s largest gathering of Marilyn Monroe lookalikes to paddle in the sea at Donabate as part of this ‘Beautiful Sisterhood’. I am doing this for a cause close to our heart - to help speed up cancer diagnosis, enhance treatments and provide world-class care to the women from all over Ireland who come through the doors of the Mater Hospital for cancer treatment. Every wig, every sequin, every sashay and every bit of support I receive will make a life changing and lifesaving difference to those women living with a cancer diagnosis. Your encouragement and generosity mean the world…. Thank you! And, if you can help us to promote this page by sharing on social media using the social sharing icons, I would be hugely grateful.
