My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

Thanks for visiting our personal fundraising page. We did it!! The 3 of us ran a "Coast to Coast Charity Run" across Ireland from Salthill pier in Galway to Dun Laoghaire pier in Dublin (around 250km) over 5 days from Wednesday 23rd - Sunday 27th June in aid of Aware, Niall Mellon & Habitat for Humanity. All 3 charities are very worthy causes and we would very much appreciate your support in helping us to raise funds for these charities. All monies raised will be divided evenly.

Aware is helping to defeat depression which affects 400,000 people at any one time in Ireland. Building Blitzes are being carried out in Cape Town through Niall Mellon and in Costa Rica through Habitat for Humanity thus improving the quality of life for extremely disadvantaged people by helping them gain access to a good quality home.

Please read a few words about one of the charities that we 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 us thanking you for your support, and acknowledging the amount of your donation. Any donation no matter how small is hugely appreciated.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Ed, Nick & Nico.
