The Ana Liffey Drug Project is looking for people to support its appeal this year. By running, jogging or walking, you can make a difference to someone's life.
Ana Liffey carries out life-saving work every day on the streets of Dublin and across the Midlands and midwest of the country. The charity works with some of the most vulnerable people in society - people whose lives have spiralled out of control as a result of abuse, neglect, poverty, relationship breakdowns and other trauma.
The organisation is launching an appeal this year for Vhi Mini-Marathon runners to help raise funds to hire a social worker to work with children and families, who are suffering due to problem drug-use within the family.
"Often, when we work with people who are problem drug users, we discover that their parents were users and they grew up exposed to drugs from a very early age," says Dawn Russell, Ana Liffey's head of services.
"A big part of our work is on reducing harm, particularly to children and family members and on preventing children of drug users themselves becoming addicts in later life."
