Hi, my name is Ella and on Sunday 27th of October I will be running the Irish Life Dublin Marathon with the goal of raising funds for Abacus Special School in Kilbarrack where my little brother attends. This school has been an incredible support for him and many other children with autism, offering the care, resources, and education they deserve to thrive!

I know I'm a bit late getting this fundraiser started with just a little over a week to go before the marathon - but there's still time and every bit of support counts! Your donation will go directly to supporting the school's essential programs, helping children like my brother access the education they need.

Running 42.2km will be a big challenge, but it pales in comparison to the challenges these children overcome everyday with the aid of Abacus. If you can please help me make a difference for this wonderful school and the children it serves. Every step will be for them! Thank you for your support!
