Thanks so much for visiting my fundraising page for Cliona’s Foundation — your support means a lot. In April and June 2026, me and over 200 other students and teachers from across Ireland will walk 100km of the Camino de Santiago, from Portomarin to Santiago, over 4 days. We’re walking in solidarity with families facing the emotional and financial challenges of caring for a seriously ill child. Each student is raising at least €1,000 — with 100% of funds going directly to Cliona’s Foundation. Though travel costs are covered by ourselves so every little helps. I joined this fundraiser with my school to give support and stand with families who have a seriously sick child and are facing a difficult time financially trying to deal with hospital bills along with the all other expenses. Over 2 years ago my sister was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. For over 2 weeks my parents had to stay in the hospital with her, which meant that they had to take time of work and have extra expenses on top of everyday costs like heating and electricity. This was a very scary time for us. So when I found out about Cliona’s Foundation and this fundraiser I signed up straight away as I learned how some families have it way worse then we did caring for a seriously sick child. Although my sister was sick we were fortunate enough that it wasn’t as difficult financially as it is for the families that Cliona’s works with. So because of that I want to help families who are going through a tough time in their lives. Thank you very much and every donation big or small counts!
