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
The ISPCA (Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes some of Ireland’s most 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.

The ISPCA operates a National Animal Cruelty Helpline 1890 515 515 and deals with a large number of phone calls each week. We have four Animal Welfare Inspectors for the entire country who along with our affiliated societies investigate animal welfare complaints of cruelty, neglect and abuse. When a call is received from a concerned member of the public about an animal who has been subjected to mistreatment, one of our four Inspectors or an inspector from an affiliated society will investigate the complaint which depending on the severity of the case can end up with the owner being prosecuted for cruelty.

Our mission is that through education and legislation we can Prevent Cruelty to All Animals.
