On June 5th, I'll be running* the VHI Women's Mini Marathon* to raise money for the Irish Refugee Council.

I'm doing this to raise funds for our front line youth services.

All the money raised will go towards supporting IRC's youth cafe. The youth cafe provides a safe, supportive and fun space for unaccompanied young people and young people seeking asylum to meet and learn from and about each other. Through the youth cafe, young people have the opportunity to participate in arts projects, development education workshops and outings, as well as having a space where they can socialise and have fun. We run the youth cafe on an extremely limited budget and it would be great to raise some money for our summer programme of activities. 

Please support how you can and help ensure that we can continue this important work!

Thank you,

Aoife

* by 'running', I mean a combination of jogging, walking, hobbling, crawling - basically anything except running and by 'mini-marathon' I mean a 10K!
