Little Dundalk girl raises funds for diabetes research in memory of late grandparents

Chloe Gonnelly

A little girl in Dundak is raising funds for diabetes research in memory of her late grandparents.

Chloe Gonnelly will be taking on a walking challenge for the third time, in memory of her late grandparents, Ned Stokes and Paddy McCartney.

For the second time, Chloe will also be raising funds to help children with autism/GDD and children with any other additional needs.
"Last year she donated half the funds raised to Diabetes Ireland and the other half went to purchasing and donating educational toys and sensory equipment to 2 pre-schools in our area and to a lot of local children with ASD in our community.
"She walked 50km last year, so this year she wants to beat it and try for 70km. I've no doubt she'll complete it once she has her mind set," read a note on her GoFundMe page.
