Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>You'll all know that I love a good challenge...and some of you might be aware that I (like so many others) have struggled with depression at various stages in my life.&nbsp;</p> <p>So, on <strong>Saturday 10 March 2012</strong>, I'll be stepping into a boxing ring at the <strong>Europa Hotel, Belfast</strong> (probably with legs of jelly)...for three rounds to help raise funds for the <strong>Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Meanwhile,&nbsp;over the next 6 weeks, I'll be&nbsp;continuing to 'practice' (involves a lot of hobbling, sweating, puffing, panting and occasional swearing&nbsp;from me)&nbsp;- with my fantastic fellow boxers and expert, (incredibly patient, good humoured) coaches - at <strong>Monkstown Boxing Club.</strong></p> <p>I'd really appreciate it if you would sponsor me.</p> <p>And if anyone fancies coming along to the match to cheer me on / have a good laugh at my expense, please do give me a shout. (Full bar with waiter service and cabaret style seating, tickets &pound;20).</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. It&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Please dig deep and donate now. I really appreciate your support.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Lesley 'Dynamite' Doherty</p> <p>(or 'The Portstewart Pounder', cheers for that one Mickey Kelly).</p>
