O’Donell Park will host Croí Night Run on October 9, in aid of Croí Heart and Stroke Charity.
The event will begin at 7pm on October 9, and members of the community are invited to take part in the event.
Kelly O’Dowd, who’s family availed of Croí’s services last year when her father was rushed to Galway University Hospital for emergency surgery, after he had suffered three strokes in less than a week.
Croí have three apartments which are a ten minute walk from Galway University Hospital.
Kelly said: “We were told of Croí and contacted them on route to Galway.
“They gave us an apartment and were so helpful and caring to us.”
“They didn’t demand anything from us other than a donation if we could manage it,” she said.
“Croí provided my father with ongoing support via calls with a specialist nurse even after he returned home to Donegal.
“It gave him and my family great peace of mind knowing he could call and get specialist advice.”
Croí hold an annual charity walk run to try raise funds for the amazing work they do.
This is the first year it’s taking place in Donegal, and Kelly and her family want to encourage as many people as possible to get involved.
