Run for Fionntán
Donation protected
Today would have been Fionntán's 20th birthday. We miss him so much.
I will be running the Connemara half marathon with some of my closest friends on Sunday 23rd April 2023. The following week a number of Fionntán's friends and family will be running in relay teams and walking the Belfast City Marathon.
Many of you will be aware of the incredible fundraising efforts last year for We Are Donors, which ensured this charity was able to continue its great work in raising awareness of organ and blood donation throughout this year. A direct result of this has been establishing the We Are Donors Fionntán Branch in Queens University Belfast, the first of its type in Ireland. We are so proud of the progress they have made so far, with recruitment of new ambassadors, their recent successful Blood Drive, and an upcoming Education Day. Please check their instagram page at https://instagram.com/wadfionntan?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= to see all they have accomplished to date.
We are hoping to raise funds for our Fionntán Branch, ensuring they can make further progress in the education and awareness of organ and blood donation, and in doing so help us to honour the legacy of Fionntán's beautiful life.
