Steps for Strength fundraiser raises €13,107.64 for charities

A fundraiser organised by the family of Darian Gallagher in Muff has raised €13,107.64 for charitable causes.

The “Steps for Strength” event, inspired by the young boy, combined a sponsored walk and run that took place in August from Muff Community Playpark.

The Gallagher family presented €6,553.82 each to two beneficiaries: St Anne’s Burns Unit in Crumlin and the St Aengus Autism Classes in Bridgend.

In a statement the family thanked donors, sponsors, volunteers and participants, saying the support had been “incredible” and that the effort had grown from a personal tribute into a “truly special” community initiative.
