Hello friends and thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The two things I dislike most are heights and running..........why then have I signed up for the Dublin Marathon (26/10/09) and a 10,000ft tandem skydive (19/09/09)? (1st attempt was cancelled due to low cloud, next attempt ascheduled for 05/12/09 Brrrrr...) For three simple reasons:
1) I never fully understood the challenges of running a marathon or how terrified I will be when I have to jump out of a plane at 10,000ft (which has now become very real!) COMPLETED IN 6HRS AND 10MINS (OUCH!!) :-)
2) TO RAISE as much MONEY as possible TO help SUPPORT the fantastic work CHILDREN 1ST carry out. (please follow the link to their web-site and have a quick look at what they do)
3) To give everyone who donates a good laugh at my pain and terror
This is a brilliant cause and a real opportunity for you to make a difference to a childs life, please give as much as you can to help and enjoy laughing at my pain : ) To everyone who has donated, a HUGE Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
PLEASE NOTE: I will be paying for all expenses for the events out of my own pocket to ensure all of your donation goes to children 1st.
A little bit of info about Children 1st......
