LauraLynn Ireland’s Children’s Hospice invites people to dust off their runners and challenge themselves to walk 150km throughout the month of February. LauraLynn is asking the public to take on the sponsored challenge, walking, jogging or running about 5.5km per day in February. The challenge is an important fundraiser for the Children’s Hospice supporting children with life-limiting conditions and their families.
LauraLynn Fundraising Executive Cathy White commented: “Taking part in the ‘150k in February’ challenge is a great way to get outdoors now that the evenings are getting longer. We are asking people to walk or run and just have some fun while raising much needed funds for LauraLynn. These funds will allow us to continue supporting children with palliative care needs and their families all over Ireland.”
To take part participants register on the LauraLynn website where they will receive a T-shirt, as well as their own sponsorship page. Funds raised from the “150K in February” challenge will help LauraLynn provide essential care and support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families from across the country.
Whether you walk or run regularly, or are trying to get more active as part of your new year’s resolutions this challenge is for everyone. Participants can share their experiences and photos on social media using the hashtag #TeamLauraLynn and join the dedicated Facebook group to connect with others taking part in the challenge.
