My Personal Message
Hi
As some of you are already aware I am endeavoring to run the Paris Marathon on Sunday 5 April. Given that training has managed to stay marginally on track and I now have a modest sense of confidence that I will complete it, I have decided to use this opportunity to raise some funds for a cause close to my heart.
A friend of mine Martin Codyre, while at a wedding last August, fell and suffered a devasting spinal injury that has left him paralysed from the chest down (please see below and also www.themartincodyrefund.com). All funds raised will go to The Martin Codyre Fund set up to help cover the huge costs associated with providing Martin with long term care to allow him live as independent a life as possible.
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,
Gareth |
About my charity
The Martin Codyre Fund
On Saturday August 16th, while at a friend’s wedding in Westmeath, Martin Codyre 33, from Bray, Co. Wicklow fell and suffered a sudden and devastating spinal cord injury which has left him completely paralysed from the chest down. Prior to this tragic accident Martin was an active, sociable character who enjoyed rugby, skiing, mountain biking and had a huge passion for travelling.
On the day of his accident, Martins life, and that of his family and friends was changed forever, but most importantly Martin is still alive and with us and his renowned kind nature and infectious sense of humour are ever present. If you are interested in supporting The Martin Codyre Fund by donating today or getting involved in our fundraising events we would be delighted to hear from you. You can visit the website www.themartincodyrefund.com or contact Brian Codyre directly on 087 675-6119
