Livie Mulhern from Donegal needs €2.1m to get a life-saving treatment in the US.
Livie was diagnosed with a rare genetic neuromuscular life-limiting condition called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1. It is caused by gene deletion which results in deterioration of Livie's motor nerve cells connecting her brain and spinal cord to her muscles. There is no cure and she has it's most severe type!
Muscles used for crawling, walking, sitting up, swallowing and breathing are becoming progressively weaker.
The gene therapy treatment to improve her quality of life is only available in the U.S and her parents are raising money to get her there.
Please help Livie's parents and donate to support this.
Let's all help make a positive impact in Livie's life
***Anyone can WALK or RUN this***
Why not get the whole family involved and keep fit together♀️
Maybe set yourself some smaller goals leading up to the main event on August bank holiday weekend.
For the competitive runners supporting this:
Maybe you would like to use the virtual run to do a time trials and gauge your fitness over a certain distance if you are looking for a hard race type stimulus to break up your training and to replace the cancelled races.
It's totally up to ye
Aerobic Exercise like walking and running has so many well documented benefits physically, mentally and socially so relish every step in your journey towards helping Livie and supporting this amazing cause. You will be rewarded with a huge sense of that feel good factor.
Do it for those who cant!
The confidence and empowerment that walking/running gives us definitely make our lives better.
Life is better in trainers so let's get them on and help make Livies life a better one
