The funds will go towards sensory equipment, classroom resources, and providing valuable learning experiences. In the description of her fundraiser, the teacher jokes that since she’s “athletically challenged” and that the 10km run "may as well be the Dublin Marathon for her" but she is determined to make it happen for her students.
