My Personal Message
Hey Guys,
Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. On the 10th of July 2010 I will attempt to skateboard approximately 835 kms from Mizen Head to Malin Head in aid of Muscular Dystrophy Ireland.

Charity - www.mdi.ie
I expect the skate will take approximately 11 days. Aside from the personal challenge of doing this my main aim is to raise money and promote awareness for Muscular Dystrophy Ireland (MDI). MDI is a voluntary organization which provides support for people and their families who are affected by muscular dystrophy and allied neuromuscular conditions.
The money i raise will go directly towards research into treatments for children with muscular dystrophy. Many children with muscular dystrophy are confined to wheelchairs by their teens and life span can also be dramatically shortened. I have been skateboarding since I was 9 years old and the thought of children not being able to enjoy what they love made me want to raise money and awareness for this worthy cause.
Please read a few words about the charity that I have chosen to support below. You can donate using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You can be assured that your transaction on the mycharity.ie website is very secure. You will automatically receive an e-mail from me thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.
Really appreciate this. Thanks!
