Hell & Back – Official Fundraising Partner

We’ve Got Some BIG News! 

We’re delighted to announce that iDonate is the Official Fundraising Partner for HELL & BACK, Ireland’s toughest physical and mental endurance challenge! 

This exciting partnership means that every participant can now tackle the mud, the walls, and the obstacles – all while raising vital funds for the charity they care about most. ❤️‍🔥

A Partnership Built on Community 

HELL & BACK has become one of Ireland’s most iconic adventure challenges, testing thousands of participants every year with gruelling but fun-filled courses. By teaming up with iDonate, participants can now turn every drop of sweat and every muddy obstacle into meaningful support for Irish charities.

Michael McElligott, Commercial Director of HELL & BACK, shared his thoughts on the collaboration:

“We’re proud to announce HELL & BACK’s new partnership with iDonate, a local Irish platform that shares our commitment to community. This partnership means every participant can now take on Ireland’s toughest challenge while raising vital funds for charities across the country. It’s an exciting step for HELL & BACK, giving our challengers a simple way to support Irish causes while pushing themselves to the limit. We’re delighted to team up with a home-grown partner who helps every euro raised go further.”

Fundraising Made Easy

Alan Coyne, CEO of iDonate, explained the vision behind the partnership:

“This partnership combines the power of Ireland’s ultimate challenge with the impact of Ireland’s leading fundraising platform. Together, we’ll help participants push their limits while raising vital funds for the charities they care about most.”
