Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I am heading to Ghana in October with a team of people from the ICT industry in Northern Ireland to work with a homepartner family to build a house. We will be away for 10 days and I have just qualified as a First Aider as part of my responsibility in the team!  The picture gives you an idea of the type of house we will be building.

I am also hoping to do some work linking a school in Northern Ireland with a school in Ghana. I'll keep you posted on my progress.

Some key facts about Ghana:

* Close to half of the population are rural inhabitants in scattered settlements

* Over crowded conditions

* 31% of population are below the poverty line

* 78.5% of population survive on less than $2 per day

* 196,000 homes are needed every year

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Habitat for Humanity Northern Ireland will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

I held a Pub Quiz on 6th August which was a great success. Over 60 people turned up and the winning team was The Well Hungarians from Bio Kenetics.

An amazing £893.50 was raised on the night with all of the proceeds going to Habitat for Humanity.

I would like to pay special thanks to

* Botanic Inns who provided the venue and vouchers for the raffle

* Holywood and Donnelly who donated a 15" Flat Screen TV, iPod Nano and a 10 year bottle of whiskey for the raffle

* Park Plaza Hotel who donated an overnight stay for two with breakfast

* Everybody who took part and donated so generously

Many thanks for your support.
