Four of our members, Denise Molloy, Robert Farrell, Andrew Revington and Don Mahon will be running the 2015 Dublin City Marathon as a fundraised for the Lorraine O Brien Trust. The group which has been working together on the project with one of the clubs childrens officers Cathy Shelly jumped at the opportunity to turn their marathon running into a fundraiser for such a great cause.
They have given their support to the campaign been launched to help Trim mother of two - who is paralysed from the chest down - to walk again.
Lorraine O’Brien is a 39 year old single mother who has been unable to walk since an operation in January 2014.
A Trust has been set up for Lorraine, from Newtown, Trim, who has struggled to find appropriate facilities in Ireland to help her in her rehabilitation.
Her friends and family are hoping to raise funds to send Lorraine to attend a facility in the USA called Barwis Methods, which has been successful in helping people with spinal cord injuries to walk again. -
