Hello lovely people,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my fundraising page.

On April 13th, I will be running the Rotterdam Marathon in aid of the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC). Having never run more than 5km this time last year, taking on a marathon is going to be a challenge—but I couldn’t be more motivated to do it for a cause so close to my heart.

With 52% of women and 28% of men in Ireland reporting experiences of sexual violence in their lifetime, this is an issue that touches the lives of so many.

During my training, as a woman running alone, I’ve often felt the sharp edge of fear, a reminder of the safety concerns so many of us face daily. But I’ve refused to let that fear stop me from doing something I love. Instead, it’s fueled my determination to support DRCC’s mission.

Organisations like the DRCC not only provide survivors with essential support to heal but also work tirelessly to prevent violence from happening in the first place.

Their work is transformative, and with growing support, it is my hope that every survivor can get the care they deserve.

To maintain their current level of services and programs, the DRCC needs to raise €77,000 every week. That’s why I’m asking for your support. Please donate whatever you can to help me reach my goal and make a difference for those who need it.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and for supporting a cause that means so much to me.

Lots of love,

Holly
