The Ollie Hickey Fund

None of this happens without the walk. In September 2025, Paddy Hickey set out from Letterkenny, Co. Donegal and finished, as always, in Enfield, Co. Meath — raising €46,904 and bringing the three-year total past €131,828. Across three walks, from Castlebar to Dungarvan to Letterkenny, Paddy has covered more than 600 kilometres for his son Ollie.

MDI is hugely grateful to the Hickeys, their family and friends, and to the wider MDI community and staff who walk, donate and share. Thanks also to Paddy's employer eBay, who match every donation made by their staff through Benevity as well as the hours their staff volunteer. We look forward to working together in 2026 and beyond.
