My Personal Message

Thanks for visiting my personal fundraising page. The Médecins Sans Frontières 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.

I will be fundraising on behalf of Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières—MSF) this summer in Ireland from June 25 to July 25. This fundraiser, Dance For Darfur, will take me to thirty towns in Ireland and include Dublin and Belfast. I will be performing improvised dances with local musicians and dancers in each of the places I visit. The Arts Council of Ireland and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland are assisting me in contacting local musicians and dancers. This journey around Ireland will be on bicycle and average 25-30 miles each day. The funds raised will be distributed by MSF to support their humanitarian work.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

Philip
