My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland 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.

This year i have chosen to continue the challenge and have already walked from Drogheda to Kilkenny over 4 days from the 20th -23rd of April. I have also completed the RTE 5 Mile, Drogheda 10km, Belfast Marathon, Dundalk Half Marathon, Dublin 5 mile, Docklands Run, and still have Wicklow Half Mathaton, Newry and Cork Marathons, the 5 and 10 mile Addidas Runs, Great North Run in Newcastle, Dublin and New York Marathons as well as probably other races as i find more and more to do.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Gerard
