Alltech Ireland has announced that it will be running a 5k obstacle challenge in aid of Embrace Farm.
Called Run2Raise, it will take place on Saturday 28 September in Kinnitty Castle, Co Offaly.
Ireland’s farmers will join forces with the goal of raising €15,000 for Irish farming families who have suffered the tragic loss of a loved one or have been affected by a farming accident.
“Farming accidents are the highest of all workplace accidents, which happen annually in Ireland,” says Brian Rohan, co-founder of Embrace Farm.
“Adapting to life after an accident can take a survivor and their loved ones through many difficult physical and mental challenges,” he said.
Awareness
The charity, founded by Brian and his wife Norma in 2014, helps to increase awareness regarding the importance of farm safety by sharing stories of victims who have passed away or were injured due to a farming accident and of families who survive the loss of a loved one from a farming tragedy.
“Farm accidents have risen by 13% in the last five years and by 31% in the last 10 years,” Niall Brennan, key account manager with Alltech Ireland, has said.
“Unfortunately, this is representative of much more than a statistic. These figures represent the loss of a husband, child, brother, friend, father. The goal of Run2Raise is to raise as much money and awareness for the superb work and support Embrace Frm provides for farming families across Ireland.”
