My Personal Message
Hey Guys,
Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The DEBRA Ireland charity is a very worthy cause and I would very much appreciate your support in helping me to raise funds for this charity. There are plenty of charities and picking any single one can be difficult. However, I do think that people who are born and suffer with skin conditions have a massive burden placed on them and how they live day to day. If we can aid them in any way and improve their quality of life, put more than one smile on someone's face...then I'm very happy to help out.
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.
Remember you can track my progress by reading my blog: www.womensminimarathon.blogspot.com
Thanks a million for your support - it really does keep me motivated.

About my charity
DEBRA Ireland
DEBRA Ireland is the national charity established in 1988 to provide patient support services and to drive research into treatments and cures for those living with the genetic skin condition, epidermolysis bullosa (EB). Our patients who have EB, have skin that is as delicate and fragile as the wings of a butterfly, and just as easily damaged. EB has been described by a Consultant Dermatologist in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital as “easily the most debilitating and devastating disease I have ever seen.” The condition is extremely painful and leads to disability and deformity. Many of our patients who survive childhood face the frightening reality that they could develop a very aggressive form of skin cancer, due to the constant breakdown of their skin.
DEBRA Ireland offers hope and support to these patients, which is only possible thanks to the ongoing generosity from people like you.
