300km in 30 days Charity Run for Church Roof

Earlier this year , a Winter storm badly damaged the roof of Eaglais Muire gan Smál, the small community church here on Inis Meáin, Arann islands. This followed many other storms through the years. The cost of repairing and making safe the roof will be €60,000. With Inis Méain having a population of less than 200 people, the task of raising this amount of money is made even more difficult! So in order to help raise funds to contribute to the urgent repairs of the church roof myself (Angela) and my daughter, Róisín, will, between us, run 300km over the next 30 days! While we are regular runners, the next  30 days will surely test our stamina! We will be documenting all of our runs on fitbit to ensure accuracy and will post updates here.

Please donate whatever you can to this worthy cause - it'll motivate us to run faster!

I mí Feabhra bhain Gála Seoirse go leor sclataí ó dhíon an tséipéil anseo ar Inis Méain. Cosnóidh sé thart ar €60,000 chun an damáiste a dheisiú i gceart agus an díon a dhéanamh sábháilte arís. Tá níos lú ná 200 duine ina gcónaí ar Inis Meáin, mar sin beidh sé deachair orainn an méid sin airgead a bhailiú.

Mar ghníomhaíocht tiomsaithe airgid, beidh mé féin (Angela) agus m'iníon, Róisín, ag rith 300km le chéile, thar tréimhse 30 lá (24/08 - 22/09). Cé go mbíonn muid ag rith go minic beidh sé mar thriail nirt don bheirt againn! Beidh muid ag baint usáid as Fitbit chun cuntas a choinneáil ar an bhfad a dhéantar gach lá agus beidh uasdátú á dhéanamh againn ar ár ndul  chun  cinn anseo. 

Mar sin a chairde, bheimis thar a bheith buíoch as aon síntiús airgid le cabhrú linn díon an tséipéil a dheisiú (agus dár ndóigh spreagfaidh sé muid agus muid ag rith!).
