🏃‍♂️What a run, what a team! 🏃‍♀️
Massive congratulations to the incredible Headway Harriers who took on the Great Limerick Run with determination, heart, and plenty of team spirit! From the first stride to the finish line, this group showed what it truly means to run for a cause.

Together, they’ve already raised an amazing €3,300 (and counting!)
Every mile mattered. Every cheer counted. Every donation is making a real difference.
