Funds raised by #TeamCope will support projects across Cork city and county
People supported by Cope Foundation, their families and staff are preparing to take on the 42nd Echo Women’s Mini Marathon, which goes ahead on Sunday the 17th of September.

The Echo Women’s Mini Marathon is a great fundraising opportunity for Cope Foundation, which supports over 2,800 children and adults with an intellectual disability and/or autism across Cork city and county to live, ‘Your Life, Your Way’. All funds raised will go towards projects and programmes that empower and support people with an intellectual disability and/or autism across Cork city and county.
