Connie Colgan fundraising for Gay Community News (GCN)
Hi there, my name is Connie and I’m a very strong believer in LGBTQ+ rights and equality across the board. I’ve been running for leisure for the past 10 years, but last year I decided to try my first half marathon. As I am 30 this year, it is compulsory that I do a full marathon so I have decided to do it to raise vital funds for Gay Community News (GCN) a cornerstone of the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland, which is a crucial resource for queer and trans people to access free, reliable news on the developments that impact us. I will be running several events over the next few months to raise funds, however, please feel free to donate whatever you can here too. Go raibh míle maith agat, Connie.
