Barnardos and the Great Limerick Run 2012!
Barnardos are delighted to announce that we have been chosen as the Charity of Choice for the Great Limerick Run 2012!
Barnardos relies on sponsorship, raised from events such as the Great Limerick Run to support our services. Please sign up for our fundraising pack and you will be helping us continue our work with the thousands of children in Ireland who rely on our help.
Sunday May Bank Holiday 2012 will see the third Great Limerick Run. The streets of Limerick City will welcome over 7,000 runners and 30,000 spectators along the course. This event has something for everyone including a marathon, a half marathon and a 6 mile event. Join the Barnardos Team for this fantastic event, raise some money and stay for the fun on this festival weekend!
Register at www.greatlimerickrun.com and tick the box for your fundraising pack and we’ll post one straight out!
It’s Flora Women’s Mini Marathon time!
Hit the Dublin streets with the Barnardos team this June Bank Holiday weekend for the 30th Anniversary of the Flora Women's Mini Marathon!
Every step makes a difference. By taking part you can get fit and raise money for vulnerable children in Ireland at the same time. Last year over 200 women joined our team on the day and this year we hope to double that number so start your training now and raise funds to help Barnardos change a child’s life.
The 10K route will be a fun challenge, starting on June 4th 2012 at 3.00pm in Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin 2 and finishing in St. Stephens Green. You can register online from Wednesday 22nd February at www.florawomensmarathon.ie and postal entry forms will be available in the Evening Herald every Wednesday and Saturday from the same date.
Closing date for registration is Friday the 20th April or when the maximum number of entries is reached. The fee to sign up is €17 (for online entries there is an extra €1 bank charge) and all entrants must be at least 14 years old to participate.
Once you have submitted your official form and fee to the Mini-Marathon organisers let us know by calling 01 453 0355 or email jog@barnardos.ie so you can get your fundraising pack and start training!
