We did it - 42km! Now can you help children with cancer?

We made it! Along with my son Ari and friends Tom Molloy and Anna Morton, I walked the marathon Dublin Mountains Way last Sunday. This was part of the Dublin Mountains Challenge for Barretstown - helping children living with cancer.
The other part of the challenge is raising funds for Barretstown. With your support we can reach our fundraising goal and he;p Barretstown provide a range of adventurous activities supported behind the scenes by safe, medical attention and care – always for free.
This is what the mother of Leo, one boy who had a three and a half year course of cancer treatment ahead of him told Barretstown:
To hear a child who has been battling cancer laugh so much that tears run down their face and milk squirts out their nose is one of the most wonderful sounds you could ever hear. To Leo, and the rest of our family, Barretstown is THE most magical place on earth.
We just need to raise another €653 to reach our fundraising target by 12 June. I'd be delighted if you could join the magic by making a donation to Barretstown on https://www.mycharity.ie/event/thereandbackagainandagaindublinmountainschallenge/
Thanks for any support you can give - some friends have given €50 or €25, but it's entirely up to you.
All the best
Bruce
