A row for future minds
"The Rising" is more than just a fundraising challenge for Breslin. “It is a metaphor for life really”, says Breslin. “We all encounter rough parts of life, and while it's not always easy, with the right tools and skills, navigating through these stormy times becomes less daunting. Our school programs aim to do exactly that - equip the children of Ireland with the necessary skills and tools to cope with life’s challenges, and that work has to begin now. We know the power of early intervention models of care.”
