Enable Ireland are currently enrolling for this year’s Corporate 5km Run, which will take place in St. Anne’s Park, Raheny on Thursday, 7th September. They are asking companies, clubs and organisations to run and raise funds for Enable Ireland’s East Region Services in Dublin and Wicklow.

Last year nearly 400 participants took part in teams of 3-4, walked, jogged and ran to raise money for Enable Ireland. There were even some familiar faces running, including James Nolan, who represented Ireland in the Olympic Games Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, local TDs and TV personalities.

There are team and individual prizes on the night in all categories, as well as spot prizes for participants raising over €100 in sponsorship.

Funds raised from the event will go directly towards Enable Ireland’s Services in Dublin and Wicklow, providing services for children and adults with physical disabilities, such as physiotherapy, speech therapy, pre-school and national school education and providing family support. To maintain our services at their current levels, and to expand these services to meet demand, we need to raise significant funding each year.

If you would like to take part in this fundraising event, call the East Region Fundraising Office on 01-2615917 or email eastfr@enableireland.ie
