Hello All, On May 5th, 2024, I will be participating in the Great Limerick Run 10km, fundraising for Dóchas Midwest Autism Support. As some may know, my son Ronan, was diagnosed with autism when he was 6 years old. Now 14, Ronan struggles with the social demands of society and finds it difficult to make friends. Since finding Dóchas, he has found a safe place where he can be himself without being judged and I will be forever grateful to them for that. Dóchas provides an invaluable service with social groups and activities for children like Ronan while offering vital support and resources for families navigating life with autism. The impact they've had on Ronan's life is enormous and I would love to be able to give a little back. I am inviting you all to join me in my efforts.. Every size of donation can make a difference in continuing their wonderful services. I am by no means a runner but I will give it my best shot! Donate directly on this page! Thank you! Gillian
