If you have registered to run in this year’s Flora Mini-Marathon but haven’t yet chosen a charity then choose to be in good company and run, walk or jog alongside Dublin Rose, Hannah McDonnell. Hannah will be taking part to raise funds for her chosen charity, Enable Ireland.

Enable Ireland supports children and adults with disabilities in five locations in Dublin. Hannah is hugely supportive of the work of Enable Ireland and is a passionate disability advocate herself. Hannah has been working with parents and children attending Enable Ireland in Sandymount sharing her experiences of growing up with dyspraxia. Children with dyspraxia can have co-ordination and sensory motor difficulties that can interfere with activities of daily living, school performance and/ or social development. Funds raised by Hannah will go towards Enable Ireland children’s services in Galway, Wicklow and Dublin where service users include children with dyspraxia.

“This will be one of my last events as the Dublin Rose and I would really love if you would join me. Over the past year I have been working with parents and children attending Enable Ireland in Sandymount and I have seen at first hand the difference that a service like Enable Ireland’s can make in the lives of a person who has a disability and their family. Join me and run, jog or walk for Enable Ireland and you can make a difference too,” says Hannah.

If you’re not registered to run in the Mini-Marathon, you can still support the Dublin Rose, Hannah McDonnell, by sponsoring her to run the race. Donations can be made by phoning 0857225659.
The Ladies Mini-Marathon takes place on Bank Holiday Monday, June 1st.
