Over 6,000 people in Ireland have no place to call home. 1 in 3 are children!
This is not just a stark statistic – it is reality made worse by the fact that the number of homeless children has grown by 90% in just 1 year
Many innocent people are suffering, children are losing out on their childhood, support structures are under incredible stress and the situation is not yet at its worst point.
In order to support these families, our company Murex has a range of fundraising activities planned including a bake sale in May and a sponsored climb of Croagh Patrick.
For the latter, more than 20 of us will start in the early morning of Saturday July 2nd. The plan is to complete as many ascent/descent of the mountain as possible before the sun goes down and/or our legs give out.
This is a great opportunity for us to raise some money and make a big difference to a very important charity: Focus Ireland. Focus Ireland supports people who are homeless and many more at risk of homelessness. The money raised will provide vital services to help our homeless friends (including the above mentioned 2000 homeless children) to move on in life.
Every penny counts so please donate as little or as much as you can.
Many thanks for your support!
The Murex Climb Team
