The Mater Hospital Foundation 100 Miles in a Month Challenge

Instantor Raises Funds For Cardiac Care With 100 Miles in a Month Challenge

As Instantor marks its 100th anniversary, employees took on the Mater Hospital Foundation’s 100 Miles in a Month Challenge throughout February to support cardiac care at the Mater Public Hospital in Dublin, raising over €4,000.

Participants ran, jogged, or walked 100 miles over the course of the month, getting active while helping the hospital continue to transform patient care and save even more lives. Founded in 1926, Instantor has proudly operated in Dublin since its launch, and this challenge was a meaningful way for the company to give back to the local community as it celebrates a century in business.

Debbie Moloney, Brand Manager at Instantor, says: “I am very proud to have taken on the 100 Miles in a Month challenge alongside my colleagues at Instantor. There were 17 of us participating, and we’re pleased to have raised vital funds for cardiac care at the Mater Public Hospital. The hospital does incredible, life-saving work for patients every day, and as a Dublin-based business for the past 100 years, it means a great deal to us to be able to support our local community.”

A spokesperson from Mater Hospital Foundation adds: “We’re incredibly grateful to the Instantor team for taking on the 100 Miles Challenge and raising over €4,000 in support of cardiac care at the Mater Public Hospital. Instantor’s commitment, energy and generosity will make a real difference to patients and our hospital staff who care for them every day. It’s inspiring to see Instantor come together in this way, and we truly thank everyone involved for their support.”

Instantor is renowned for its innovative, quality assured plumbing products and is a market leader in press solutions. The company provides heating and plumbing engineers with press fittings, pipes and tools designed as flame-free, quick and reliable solutions for projects of any scale. This includes the Instantor Press System, an all-in-one solution combining press fittings and multilayer Pex-Al-Pex pipe.

To mark its centenary, Instantor has planned a full programme of celebrations throughout 2026, recognising both its rich heritage and its ongoing commitment to the industry and wider community. Activities will include exclusive product promotions for installers and merchants; customer, employee and community engagement initiatives; new merchandise and brochures; and a strong presence at InstallerSHOW in June, where Instantor will host its largest stand to date.

Debbie adds: “This is an incredibly exciting year for Instantor as we celebrate 100 years in business, and the 100 Miles in a Month Challenge was a superb way to kick things off. We’re honoured to be supporting the Mater Hospital Foundation. There is still a chance for people to donate, and we would encourage anyone who can to do so to help make a real difference.”
