FASN 5K | 💙 ONE WEEK TO GO! - Why we are running (or walking!)

This time next week, we’ll be gathering in Dundalk for the FASN 5K – Running for Resilience. 🏃‍♀️🚶‍♂️But this 5K is about much more than reaching the finish line. Every day, families across our communities are affected by a loved one’s addiction. Parents, partners, children, siblings and grandparents can carry enormous worry, uncertainty and stress — often quietly and behind closed doors.
This is why we run (jog, or walk). 💙

Every step taken and every euro raised helps FASN continue providing support, information and a listening ear to families who need it.

📅 Sunday, 11th October
⏰ 12 noon
📍 Anne Street, Dundalk
🏃 Walk, jog or run — all abilities welcome
👕 FREE T-shirt for the first 100 registered
🏅 Finisher’s medal for everyone / Cash prizes on the day

Come along, bring someone with you and help us stand with families affected by addiction.

💙 Run for Resilience. Run for Family. Run for FASN.

🌙 Somewhere today, a parent work up worrying about a son or daughter experiencing addiction.

🏠 A child is wondering which version of their parent they will come home to.

💭 A sibling is carrying fear and worry that they may rarely speak about.

❤️ A partner is trying to hold a family together while wondering how much more they can cope with.

👵 A grandparent is watching their child struggle with addiction while perhaps also stepping in to care for grandchildren.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Behind every person experiencing addiction, there are often family members quietly carrying its impact too.

They carry the worry, uncertainty and fear. They may deal with broken trust, financial pressures, difficult behaviours and repeated crises. They can become so focused on keeping their loved one safe, finding help or simply getting through the next day that their own wellbeing gradually moves further down the list.

🌊 Addiction does not only affect the individual. Its impact can ripple through an entire family.

💙 And while families cannot recover on behalf of the person they love, they can be supported in their own right.

🤝 Support can help family members understand addiction, develop healthier boundaries, reduce isolation, regain a sense of control and begin looking after their own emotional and physical wellbeing.

🌱 You do not have to wait until your loved one is ready for help before seeking support for yourself.

💙 Families need support too.

You don’t have to face someone else’s addiction alone. 💚

Our Weekly Family Addiction Peer Support Group in Monaghan continues every Tuesday, providing a safe, confidential and supportive space for anyone affected by a loved one’s alcohol or drug use.

Whether it’s your partner, child, parent, sibling or someone else you care about, sometimes simply being with people who understand can make a real difference.

There’s no judgement, no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with, and new members are always welcome.

📅 Every Tuesday
⏰ 11.00am – 12.30pm
📍 FASN, Park Street, Monaghan Town, H18 CK15

You are welcome to come along, or contact FASN beforehand if you’d like to find out a little more.

You are not alone.
