Meeting for bereaved parents in Tipp
On Monday, April 17, Anam Cara will hold their Tipperary meeting in the Horse & Jockey Hotel, Thurles at 7.15pm. All bereaved parents are welcome, regardless of the age of the child or circumstances of death.
Meanwhile, Anam Cara has appealed for women to raise funds for the charity by running the VHI Women's Mini Marathon taking place on Sunday, June 4.
The theme this year, ‘For Me For You’ is very apt for all those taking on the 10km route this June bank holiday weekend.
All the fantastic ladies taking part will do so for the fun, for the buzz, for the feelgood factor and, for so many, a cause close to their hearts. The Anam Cara team is growing, and the organisation would love for many more to join on the day.
To join the team, please contact Jamie on j.conway@anamcara.ie. Every cent raised by those taking part will ensure Anam Cara's support services for bereaved parents across the country continue to thrive. It hopes to upscale its training with frontline professionals, as they navigate the difficult task of supporting bereaved parents. Anam Cara, a national organisation, holds 14 face to face meetings across the country each month. They run Bereavement Information evenings online, have a podcast series. “Conversations in Grief” and many, many other free resources available for those who have experienced the death of a child.
