My Personal Message Hi everyone,We've all seen the sad shocking images of the crisis unfolding in Somalia. Famine and drought are destroying their country and people are starving to death every day. In response to this Daniel Magan will Canoe the Royal canal to raise much needed funds for GOAL who are working tirelessly to end the suffering and starvation in the worst famine in a generation. I will set out from the River Liffey on Monday August 8th at 09:00 in a canoe and intend on entering the River Shannon at Richmond harbour four days later. I have a fundraising target of €1,460. €10 for each kilometre of the 146km journey. This page will be updated with photos of our progress as often as possible. I know times here are tough but they are nothing in comparison to how they are there so please donate what you can, no matter how small, every little does help. 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. Famine devastated our country, lets not let it further devastate theirs. We have a duty as Irish people to do something about it, and we can do something about it. Everyone is welcome to join in; Walk, cycle or canoe. All are welcome to join me for a stretch of the journey. Unfortunately Garret injured himself at training and won't be participating, but I will continue on as planned. Many thanks in advance for your support, Daniel Magan. |

About my charity About GOAL GOAL is an international humanitarian agency dedicated to the alleviation of the suffering of the poorest of the poor. GOAL is non-denominational, non-governmental and non-political. Since being established in 1977, GOAL has proudly kept our administrative costs exceptionally low. What GOAL Does GOAL works towards ensuring that the most vulnerable in our world and those affected by humanitarian crises have access to the fundamental needs and rights of life, i.e. food, water, shelter, medical attention and education. GOAL has responded to nearly every major natural and manmade disaster for over three decades and is currently operational in 11 countries across the developing world. As well as responding to emergencies, GOAL implements rehabilitation and long-term development programmes and works with local partner organizations that have the same objectives as GOAL. While GOAL’s priority is to bring life-saving assistance to people affected by humanitarian crises, through the provision of food, healthcare and other basic services, it also prioritises programmes which care for street children and people affected by HIV/AIDS. Once emergency situations have been resolved, GOAL implements a wide range of rehabilitation and development programmes including primary healthcare, the rehabilitation of homes, clinics and schools, water and sanitation provision and capacity building with local partner organizations. Fundraising for GOAL While GOAL welcomes all fundraising proposals, please note that we do not support events involving extreme sports such as parachute jumps. Neither do we support events which incur costs to be paid for from donations or funds raised by the event. If you have any queries please contact GOAL’s Fundraising Department on +353 (0) 1 2809779.
