Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Over
6,000 people in Ireland have no place to call home. 1 in 3 are children!

This is not
just a stark statistic – it is reality made worse by the fact that the number
of homeless children has grown by 90% in just 1 year [see graph attached
which could be embedded in the text]

Many
innocent people are suffering, children are losing out on their childhood,
support structures are under incredible stress and the situation is not yet at
its worst point.

In order to
support these families, our company Murex has a range of fundraising activities
planned including a bake sale in May and a sponsored climb of Croagh Patrick.

For the
latter, more than 20 of us will start in the early morning of Saturday July 2^nd.
The plan is to complete as many ascent/descent of the mountain as possible
before the sun goes down and/or our legs give out.

This is a
great opportunity for us to raise some money and make a big difference to a
very important charity: Focus
Ireland.  Focus Ireland supports people who are homeless
and many more at risk of homelessness. The money raised will provide vital
services to help our homeless friends (including the above mentioned 2000 homeless
children) to move on in life.

Every penny
counts so please donate as little or as much as you can.

Many thanks
for your support!
