In remembrance of her passing, each year a charity run is organized by the 2nd year Sport and Exercise Science students.
This year, all the money raised from the run will be donated to Temple Street Children’s Hospital and Limerick Suicide Watch. Temple Street Hospital was chosen for their vital work in providing medical treatment for children throughout Ireland. Limerick Suicide watch aims to help people in distress or that may be feeling suicidal. Each week patrol teams are sent out to keep eyes on the river and be of assistance to anyone in need. The charity is completely reliant on donations therefore, being an optimal recipient for the money raised from this year’s Glow Run.
