A group from the Ballymun community has been “living at a gym” while raising funds for a charity that helps bereaved parents.
The fundraising group "moved into" the basketball court of Ballymun Comprehensive School last Friday in order to run four miles every four hours for 60 hours. The goal is to raise funds for Feileacain, an NGO that offers support to anyone affected by the death of a baby around the time of birth.
Event organiser Alan Kinsella said 47 people signed up for this year's challenge. A small number of the participants has sadly had to deal with Feileacain in the past. Mr Kinsella told Dublin Live: “We’re all living together for 60 hours... We started at 6am on Friday and we finish at 3pm [today]."
