Embrace FARM, Ireland’s only support network for farm families, has announced the third annual Wear Our Wellies (WOW) Day will take place on Friday, February 6.
Embrace FARM is a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2014 by husband and wife, Brian and Norma Rohan, following the tragic loss of Brian’s father Liam in a farming accident.
From the first annual Remembrance Service in 2014, the network has expanded nationwide and evolved its services to meet the needs of Irish farm families in the aftermath of a serious injury and sudden death.
The organisation has engaged more than 600 farm families nationwide with its comforting and supportive embrace, along with practical support in the aftermath of a serious injury or sudden death.
The charitable organisation is encouraging Laois schools, businesses, groups, and individuals to take part in the unique fundraiser by wearing their wellies wherever they are on the day and donate to Embrace FARM, helping to raise awareness and vital funds for Embrace FARM.
Last year, over €6,000 was raised to help Embrace FARM provide emotional and practical supports for Irish farm families impacted by serious injury and sudden death.
Speaking about the fundraiser, Embrace FARM Co-founder, Norma Rohan said: “It was incredibly heartwarming to see people rallying last year for another incredibly successful WOW Day.
“This unique fundraiser lets us connect with both farming and non-farming communities, allowing us to highlight the impact a serious injury or sudden death has on a farming family and the broader farming community.
“And best of all, it’s good craic, so get your friends, family, colleagues and join us as we wear our wellies on 6th February.”
Embrace FARM is encouraging everyone to get involved with any support, no matter how big or small.
