🎯 The Challenge: Tri for Winnie!
To raise vital funds and awareness for her niece Winnie, Louise Treen is taking on a powerful endurance challenge: a triathlon consisting of a **swim, bike ride, and run**.
Pushing herself through every stroke, mile, and step, Louise is doing this for someone truly extraordinary — and she needs your support to make it count.
🌟 More about Winnie D'Arcy
Winnie is a beautiful, bright, and courageous young girl who faces more in a day than many do in a lifetime. She lives with **Brittle Bone Disease (Osteogenesis Imperfecta)**, **Autism**, and **Von Willebrand’s Disease**, a rare bleeding disorder.
Every day brings new challenges — and every day, Winnie meets them with a fierce spirit and a radiant smile. She’s already endured more hospital stays, surgeries, and procedures than most adults ever will.
Despite it all, Winnie remains full of love, light, and resilience.
💛 Why We Need Your Help
The D'Arcy family is raising funds to support Winnie’s essential care and give her the best quality of life possible. Your donation will go directly toward:
* **Hydrotherapy and physical therapies** to support her mobility, ease pain, and promote development
* **Travel and medical costs** tied to frequent hospital visits, procedures, and overnight stays
* **Specialist equipment and home adaptations** like accessible toileting and bathing facilities
* **Ongoing care** to support her comfort, safety, and independence as she grows
Winnie’s needs are lifelong — and every contribution helps build a future where she can **thrive, feel safe, and smile freely** in a home built for her.
💖 Our Wish for Winnie
Our wish is simple: for Winnie to live a life filled with comfort, confidence, and possibility.
We want her to have the tools and support she needs to move, grow, and explore her world — surrounded by love and lifted by a community that cares.
Louise is swimming, biking, and running in honour of Winnie’s courage. Please join her by donating, sharing, or simply cheering her on.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,
**The D'Arcy Family**
