As we get close to wrapping up the 50k at 50 Charity Run for Autism in Donegal, we just want to say a heartfelt thank you to every single person who played a part.

From those who sponsored the event, donated, shared posts, helped organise the run, volunteered on the day, cheered along the route, provided support vehicles, water, recovery, promotion, and everything in between — thank you. The support for this fundraiser has been nothing short of incredible, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make it such a success.

We are proud that the money raised will be shared between:

iCare Donegal
Bluestack Foundation
Letterkenny Autism Support
St Bernadette’s Special School
Little Angels School
Ballyraine National School

The money raised will be huge for these charities, but the awareness created around autism — and around the families and children living with autism every day — has been just as important.

We also want to again thank all of our sponsors and supporters:

Daytona Heavy Haulage
One Stop Motorshop
Bonnar Engineering
The Mill Park Hotel
Browne Printers
Boyle Construction
Ashley Martin Shopfitting
Divers Hyundai
Spence Digital Agency
Voodoo Venue
Benedicts Hotel Belfast

We will be closing the GoFundMe page on Sunday night, so if anyone would still like to leave a donation before it closes, you can do so here:

Thank you again to everybody who helped in any way. What has been achieved through this fundraiser has been truly amazing.

Massive thanks to Hugh and Rachael from Drift Away Sauna in Rathmullan for the lovely free sauna session.

What a way to recover. Between the sauna and the sea water, it really is hard to beat. A fantastic setup in a beautiful spot, and one we would highly recommend.

A big thank you again to Hugh and Rachael for the support and generosity.
