My Personal Message Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page.I'm currently training for an 'off-road' triathlon called the Wicklow Adventure Race which is happening on the 25th September. As usual, my modest goal is to finish in one piece. I've decided to seek sponsorship and channel the money to the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland (a few words on this below) in light of the recent diagnosis of my cousin's daughter Aoibheann. I'm conscious of many great causes looking for your hard-earned money these days, so any contribution at all to this is most welcome. Cystic Fibrosis is Ireland's most common life-threatening inherited disease - it primarily affects the lungs and the digestive system. Approximately 1 in 19 people are carriers of the CF gene and where two carriers parent a child together, there is a 1 in 4 chance of the baby being born with Cystic Fibrosis. 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, Dave |
