My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

This is my first time doing a triathlon and my first time doing an event for charity, so all donations will be gratefully received.
The triathlon comprises three consecutive events as follows:
1. 750m swim (30 lengths of a 25m pool)
2. 20km on a bike
3. 5km run

I have chosen to do the race for the ISPCA, because I am, at the end of the day, an animal lover.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. The ISPCA National Animal Centre charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.

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.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Darren

About my charity

ISPCA National Animal Centre
About the ISPCA – Registered Charity CHY 5619
 
The ISPCA (Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes some of Ireland’s most abused, neglected and cruelty treated animals. 

In 2002 the ISPCA National Animal Centre in County Longford was opened. This purpose built animal rehabilitation centre is home to some of Ireland’s most abused animals. Staff and volunteers are called upon to deal with animals that have been subjected to the most horrendous cruelty and neglect you could imagine and calls to the ISPCA National Animal Cruelty Helpline 1890 515 515 have escalated beyond comprehension. With a small team of five ISPCA Animal Welfare Inspectors for the entire country, along with affiliated voluntary societies, they investigate animal welfare complaints of cruelty, neglect and abuse.  When a call is received from a concerned member of the public about an animal they feel has been subjected to mistreatment, an inspector covering that area will investigate the situation and depending on the severity of the case, the

The ISPCA depends on voluntary charitable donations from members of the public to continue their work but funds are now insufficient to meet the demands placed on their services. We all appreciate times are hard but we also know we must continue to promote a duty of care for all animals.  Please help the ISPCA ensure animals are valued and cared for, not neglected or abandoned when times get tough.  For further information and ways you can help, please visit www.ispca.ie or contact 043 33 25933 or email carmel@ispca.ie
