Simon supporters set off on Home Run
MORE than 2,000 runners, walkers and joggers of all ages gathered in Phoenix Park yesterday for the Dublin Simon Community’s Home Run.
Simon supporters from Dublin and beyond took part in the event to show solidarity with those hurt by the homelessness crisis, and to raise money to help provide homes.
Sam McGuinness from the Dublin Simon Community said: “It’s fantastic to see such a great turn out — it highlights the concern the public has for the adults, children and families traumatised by homelessness.
“This is a really important fund-raiser for us and the money raised will enable us to provide accommodation, health care and support to those relying on us each day.”
