<div>Hi all, my name is Lucina and anyone who knows me knows I like to run. Every year I watched people doing the Warriors run in Strandhill and thought they were mad and vowed that I would never do it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>However this year is different and my youngest daughter Aoife is my inspiration. Last year she was diagnosed with chronic conditions which affects her mobility and
</div>
<div>leaves her in pain on a daily basis. Not only did these diagnoses affect her physically but they also affected her mentally as she had to give up sport and her football which she loved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thankfully someone told us about
</div>
<div>Barretstown Charity in Kildare and thought Aoife would benefit from their camps. Aoife went there and it turned her life around. We also went as a family and it is the most amazing place where children can be children and forget about their illness and families for a weekend can forget about
</div>
<div>their child's sickness, hospital appointments and the stress that goes with having a sick child. As soon as we crossed the threshold in Barretstown we were wrapped up in love, care and support by all the staff. It allowed us
</div>
<div>and other families to leave our worries at the door for that time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I really want to give back to Barretstown so other children and their families get the chance to feel the love and joy that Aoife and we as a family felt.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every cent counts and I would be so grateful for any donation you could give. Thanking you in advance. Lucina
</div>
