We're taking part in Cruach Phádraig do Phádraig on Saturday 14th of March 2020, a hike up Croagh Patrick to raise money for Sophie's friend Pádraig. As an aspiring Smug Fit Couple (SFC) we are going to challenge ourselves by running the whole way. **
Sophie's friend Pádraig, a Gaelgóir, former elite swimmer and a world-class friend, suffered a life altering brain injury when he was knocked off his bike on the way to work while on a J1 in summer 2013. ** This fundraiser will help Pádraig's family cover the costs of his ongoing round-the-clock care and therapies to maximise his progress. The family are amazing and have always made sure that his treatment keeps up with his ambition! Pádraig understands everything and needs support to recover more communication and motor skills. He has already defied doctor's expectations time and time again. ** Every little helps, and no amount is too small. We promise a sweaty selfie from the top of mountain as thanks!

About the Cause
Caring for Padraig
Padraig Schaler, a 2013 TCD graduate from Glasnevin, Dublin, acquired a very severe brain injury when he was hit by a van on 27 June 2013 as he cycled to work on Cape Cod. Nobody was ever prosecuted.
He is now living with his family in Dublin. He requires 24-hour care and is fully dependent.
All proceeds go to the Caring for Padraig fund, administered by a Committee independent of the family.
idonate was established in 2011 to assist charities & non profits in fundraising. Our aim is to provide tools for both charities and fundraisers to help raise much needed funds.
