I’m taking part in the Women's Mini Marathon to raise much needed funds for Women’s Aid.

My sister & I are running the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon for Women’s Aid, a cause that’s very close to our hearts.

Our mam is a survivor of domestic abuse, and her strength inspires us every single day. She gave us a safe, loving home when it wasn’t easy, and she never let what she went through define her. 

She has raised the two of us as a single mam for most of our lives. Anyone who knows us knows how close we all are, and that’s all down to her. 

She’s the strongest person we know and we’re so proud to be her daughters. Watching her rebuild her life has shown us just how important organisations like Women’s Aid are for women and children facing unimaginable situations.

Across Ireland, 1 in 3 women experience domestic abuse, and every 5 minutes someone reaches out for help. We are running not just for our mam, but for every woman who needs support, safety, and hope.

Any donation, big or small, will go directly towards helping Women’s Aid continue their life-saving work - like keeping their 24/7 helpline running, helping women find safety and escape abusive situations, supporting children affected, and guiding women through things like legal protection and rebuilding their lives. If you can’t donate, sharing our page would mean just as much <3>

Thank you for the support, love Diana & Nicole x
