Story

Five years ago, during COVID, I organised my very own fundraiser for Ben and Barretstown, and thanks to the incredible generosity of so many people, it was a huge success.

The hard work that Ben's family puts into fundraising for Barretstown every single year is truly inspiring. Every year we proudly take part in the Vhi Mini Marathon in Ben's memory, helping to support a charity that means so much to so many families.

Barretstown relies heavily on donations to continue providing free camps and programmes for children affected by serious illness and their families.

This year, I've decided to run the fundraiser again! 💙

Everyone who donates will have their name entered into a raffle to win an amazing hamper, which is currently being put together thanks to the kindness and generosity of our wonderful local shops and businesses.

If you've been affected by leukaemia, cancer, or simply want to support the incredible work that Barretstown does, please send me a message and donate whatever you can. Every euro makes a difference.

Cancer doesn't stop, and neither should our support for those fighting it. 💙

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
