My Personal Message

Hey Guys,

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.

As some of you are aware I took part in a huge festival last August called the Rose of Tralee in Ireland and it was a fantastic 10 days. This year a trek is being put together limited to roses and escorts (the participants of this festival) to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. I have signed up to be one of the brave souls that does this in aid of VSO (details listed below).

I know majority of you are thinking...."Patrick you have such a toned physique why put your huge muscles through this?" and while that is a valid point....I am going to do it nonetheless :-)

No donation is too small (or big!!) so I would be grateful of anything that would help reach the 5000 euro target. Also seeing as nobody wants to mention recession around the holidays, this cannot be used an excuse not to support me!!!

Thanks a million for taking the time to look on my page (now DOOOOONATE!!!) :-)

Have a great 2010,

Patrick

About my charity

VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas)


Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) is an international development charity that works through experienced volunteers living and working as equals alongside local partners. It is the largest independent volunteer-sending organisation in the world.



Our vision is a world without poverty in which people work together to fulfil their potential. Instead of sending food or money, we send women and men from a wide range of professions who want the chance to make a real difference in the fight against poverty. These volunteers work in partnership with colleagues and communities to share skills and learning and achieve positive change together.



It costs VSO €7.80 on average to support a volunteer living and working alongside some of the world’s poorest communities for a day. That €7.80 enables them to pass on skills and share their experience with local people to help them lift themselves out of poverty. But as a charity we need your support.



Please make a donation today and help make sure we have the money to send our volunteers to the places where they’re so desperately needed – and keep them there. Thank you.
