My Personal Message

Hi everyone,

Thanks for visiting our Swim Aran fundraising page. The first Swim Aran Challenge will take place on the 21st of August 2010 when 13 swimmers will brave the Atlantic to swim from Inisheer to Doolin pier. This is a 10km (6 mile) stretch of water as the crow flies...fish and swimmers may cover up to 14 kms in their attempt :) For more see http://www.swimaran.wordpress.com or look up Swim Aran Challenge on Facebook where you can see daily updates now with training session photos.

This year's chosen charity to be sponsored by us is Temple Street Children’s University Hospital charity and their target at the moment is a very worthy new brain surgery unit including operating theatre for new borns up to toddlers aged 6.

We would very much appreciate your support in helping us to raise funds for this charity. You can check out more about Temple Street below and donate on this secure site using the "sponsor me now" button below via credit or debit card. You will receive autmatic confirmation of your support, and acknowledgement of the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Seamus, Colm, Pat, Mikey, Aoife, Adrian, Donal, Kevin, Niall, Linda, Dee, Paul and Cian

About my charity

Temple Street Children’s University Hospital

Temple Street Children's University Hospital

Temple Street is the first port of call for tens of thousands of children every year suffering from every kind of illness and injury imaginable. Our aim is to help sick children by making their stay in hospital less distressing for them and their families, by funding the purchase of medical equipment, developing new services, funding research and developing new treatment facilities.

However, the treatment we provide here at Temple Street is not limited to just the first-class medical care that we deliver. For many children and their families Temple Street Children's Hospital is a home away from home and so we treat the children of Temple Street as if they were our own. Temple Street children are special and that's why the Hospital must continue to be as extraordinary as the children that come here.

Every day you help make this possible by supporting Temple Street, thank you!
