So Far 1 in 1000
Over the past 2 years funding raised by women running in the Flora Women's Marathon has raised over €400,000. This allowed the CFAI to fund a new state of the art 4 bed ward for children in Crumlin Hospital and to provide vital new supports for parents of children with a newly diagnosed child. Please help us in 2012 when your support is more needed than ever. We are asking each runner to raise €200 in sponsorship, but if you miss your target we will of course thank you for any support you can provide.
Our 2012 Target
To attract over 1000 runners and to raise €200,000 for vital isolation beds and new treatment centres in Dublin (CF Adults), Limerick (CF Adults), Drogheda (CF Children) and Castlebar (Adults and Children). This will mean that people with CF will have centres with adequate facilities to avoid cross infection when they attend hospital. These services are not an option for better health, they are essential and they are needed now. If we reach our target it will bring us 'over the line' and building may be able to commence as early as December 2012.
Join our fantastic team!
1 in 1000 is about bringing women together for a great cause, raising spirits, awareness, support and a huge sense of achievement. Where possible we're encouraging women to run in teams; so maybe you can get friends, family or colleagues involved - it's a great way to get active and work towards something empowering for yourself, your team and for those living with CF in Ireland.
Even if you can't get a team, that's ok... You are still 1 in 1000 amazing, empowering women and we value your effort and support. We welcome individual runners, and teams of any number. Any sponsorship you raise and donate to CFAI is much appreciated, and will go towards the programmes described above.
