Be sure to head along and show your support!
"The big day is drawing closer and the excitement is building," the 50km for Amira event is on this weekend when Fergal Ó Dúill will take on the incredible challenge of five 10km runs in one day to raise funds for the Carlow toddler.
Amira Rauf has been in recovery in Dublin hospitals after a car accident last November left the little one paralysed from her chest down.
The crash occurred on November 6 on the N80 Portlaoise to Carlow road close to Simmon's Mill Cross between Stradbally and Arles.
The Carlow toddler has sustained life changing injuries and has had a very difficult few months with a number of complications along the way.
Fergal Doyle has decided to fundraise to help Amira in her recovery and her family by running five 10km runs on May 11.
He said: "The big day is drawing closer and the excitement is building. The response this week has been amazing with people contacting me offering help and saying they will be up on the day.
"The generosity and kindness has been immense from day one and I am so grateful. All are welcome on the day no matter what distance you want to run or walk, or even if you just want to come up and be a part of a great day.
