My Personal Message

Hi All,

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page. GOAL is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity.
We had our first St.Stephen's Day Walk for GOAL in Ballintubber, Co.Roscommon in 1993. It became an Annual event in 1997. To date we have raised in excess of €323,000 for GOAL's work to help the poorest of the poor. You can read a little piece on our efforts on the official GOAL website at http://www.goal.ie/fundraising/ballintubber1007.shtml

AS A RESULT OF DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS, WE HAD TO POSTPONE OUR WALK TO 3pm ON SUNDAY 24 January 2010, when we will have a 5k Walk followed by a DRAW for SPOT PRIZES.

This year I am aiming to raise €1,000 on line. 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. With your help They will Never Walk Alone.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

John

About my charity

GOAL

About GOAL

GOAL is an international humanitarian agency dedicated to the alleviation of the suffering of the poorest of the poor. GOAL is non-denominational, non-governmental and non-political. Since being established in 1977, GOAL has proudly kept our administrative costs exceptionally low.

What GOAL Does

GOAL works towards ensuring that the most vulnerable in our world and those affected by humanitarian crises have access to the fundamental needs and rights of life, i.e. food, water, shelter, medical attention and education.

GOAL has responded to nearly every major natural and manmade disaster for over three decades and is currently operational in 11 countries across the developing world. As well as responding to emergencies, GOAL implements rehabilitation and long-term development programmes and works with local partner organizations that have the same objectives as GOAL. While GOAL’s priority is to bring life-saving assistance to people affected by humanitarian crises, through the provision of food, healthcare and other basic services, it also prioritises programmes which care for street children and people affected by HIV/AIDS.

Once emergency situations have been resolved, GOAL implements a wide range of rehabilitation and development programmes including primary healthcare, the rehabilitation of homes, clinics and schools, water and sanitation provision and capacity building with local partner organizations.

Fundraising for GOAL

While GOAL welcomes all fundraising proposals, please note that we do not support events involving extreme sports such as parachute jumps. Neither do we support events which incur costs to be paid for from donations or funds raised by the event. If you have any queries please contact GOAL’s Fundraising Department on +353 (0) 1 2809779.
