We are staff from the Institute of Education in DCU fundraising for Barretsown as part of the Barretstown Climb Every Mountain Challenge. The COVID 19 crisis has resulted in a massive reduction in fundraising income, just when families need Barretstown's life-changing therapeutic programmes more than ever. The children Barretstown serves, already suffer the effects of isolation due to the impact of a serious illness, like cancer and the current situation is only making this worse. Barretstown needs our help to continue to deliver their programmes to these children and their families during this difficult time.
