On August 30th, I’ll be running the Sydney Marathon to support the amazing work of Cliona’s Foundation.

This charity provides financial support to families in Ireland with seriously ill children. They help cover costs like travel, accommodation, utility bills etc. to help ease the financial burden during this difficult time.

While running my first marathon ever will definitely be a challenge, it’s not a lot compared to what these families face day-to-day.

Any donation big or small is very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Sinead 💖

For further information this is the website: www.clionas.ie but below is feedback received from a family supported recently.

"With spending 7 months at present in hospital, 24/7 with our daughter it meant neither of us could work as she needed 24hr supervision.

We are not entitled to carers benefit etc as she has never been discharged from hospital

We were living on my maternity benefit which has stopped now & didn’t cover the mortgage, bills or her supportive needs.

We are so grateful & overwhelmed with your support

This is a light in a foggy dew for us to help steer our way into a clearer sunny place"
