Simple fundraiser to run 5k and give €5 raises over 210k for hospitals

A simple fundraiser to run 5K, donate €5 and challenge five people to do the same has so far raised over €210,000 in less than two weeks for Irish hospitals.

Organiser Fiona Tallon aimed to raise just €1000 through the GoFundMe 'Run for our HSE Heroes' challenge and was completely overwhelmed to see 30,500 donors from across the world raise over €210,000 by Thursday morning.
