MOVILLE’S Geraldine Mullan is set to celebrate the life of her son Tomás on what would have been his eighteenth by holding a charity 5k walk/run this Sunday.
Geraldine’s husband, son and daughter lost their lives in a tragic accident at Quigley’s Point in August 2020.
Tomás attended Moville Community College and had spoken at home about his admiration for Children in Crossfire, who have been supported by the school for many years.
Because of that, Geraldine has decided to lead a 5k walk/run in Moville to raise funds for the Derry-based international development charity.
“As a family, we often used to go for walks together, and almost every time Tomás would end up carrying his little sister Amelia by the end,” Geraldine said.
“He was wonderful son, and I am very proud to be honouring his memory by supporting a cause that mattered to him.
“Our 5k walk/run will take place on Sunday 14th April, leaving from and finishing at The Mullan Hope Centre,” she said.
Asking the local community to get behind this event, Geraldine hopes to raise vital funds to support education and healthcare for very vulnerable children in Ethiopia and Tanzania, where Children in Crossfire work.
“It will be a beautiful way to remember my beautiful son on what should have been his 18th birthday and knowing that the monies raised will directly benefit such a worthy cause, I know he would be so proud of everyone for getting involved.
“Knowing his classmates, friends, family and the wider community will be walking or running the 5km whilst sharing fond memories of him will be a beautiful testament to him,” she said.
