Get ready for a brilliant family fun day taking place at Dublin's Corkagh Park, Clondalkin on Sunday 30th July! The highly anticipated AsIAm Run4Autism is back, celebrating its 5th anniversary and promises to be the best one yet, featuring a host of exciting activities and entertainment for everyone for all ages.
AsIAm, Ireland’s National Autism Charity, is calling on members of the autistic community and wider public to sign-up and be part of this inclusive and exciting day. The primary goal is to raise essential funds for autism services, providing crucial support to individuals and families. No prior running experience is required and participants of all abilities are welcome to walk or run the 5K route known as Georgia's Way in memory of Georgia Callan who tragically died in an accident in Spain five years ago.
Taking place on Sunday 30th July, gates open at 11am and the festivities will kick off at 12 noon. This year’s event will have an exhibitor area and entertainment village which will include an array of activities including face painters, mini-zoo, magicians, live music, and of course ice-cream!
Speaking about the upcoming event, Adam Harris, CEO of AsIAm, said, “This event is a critical fundraising event for AsIAm, in order for the organisation to continue to offer the supports we currently do, we need to raise over €2 million each year. The money we raise goes directly to support all of the services we offer to the autistic community throughout the year including the Autism Information Line, a range of social and employment programmes. We need your support to continue the work we do to give autistic people the same chance.”
Mum Ciara Jones says “The AsIAm 5k run, is such a magical day for families, it is day that brings families from all over Ireland together. It is an inclusive event that we as a family look forward to every year. This event allows you to connect with other families and create that all important conversation. It is a day that is filled with fun and joy for individuals and families.”
In signing up for this event, all participants will receive branded merchandise and a medal and refreshments. AsIAm is encouraging people and groups to fundraise whilst they partake in the event to drive much needed funds for autism services.
