My Personal Message

Hi everyone!

I'm jogging the Flora Ladies Mini Marathon as part of the 1 in 1000 team to help raise money to equip a new cystic fibrosis unit in Crumlin Children's Hospital. I'm training like a mad woman and now I need your support! 1 in 1000 – Running for cystic fibrosis is a fundraising campaign started by just six women who want to make a difference and raise €200,000 to equip the new four bed cystic fibrosis isolation unit in Our Ladies Hospital for Sick Children, Crumlin.

The aim is to get at least 1000 women to run, jog, walk or crawl in the Flora Women’s Mini Marathon on 7th June 2010 and to raise at least €200 each.

Please help out in any way you can - or better still, throw your runners on and give the 10k a shot!

Thanks so much for your support,

Orla

About my charity

1 in 1000 – Running for Cystic Fibrosis

 1 in 1000 - Running for Cystic Fibrosis- Flora Mini Marathon, Monday 4 June 2012

 1 in 1000 is a unique campaign by the Cystic Fibrosis Association of Ireland (CFAI) to mobilize 1000 + women to raise as much funds as possible for new and additional isolation beds and treatment units for children and adults with CF in hospitals in Dublin, Drogheda, Castlebar and Limerick. We want this campaign to bring women all over Ireland together, raise awareness, and be an enjoyable way to support a really important cause.

We are asking each woman to aim at raising €200 in sponsorship, so we can reach €200,000. Last years donations saw the opening of a new 4 bed ward for children with CF in Crumlin Hospital, the donation of €87,000 to a forthcoming CF unit for children and adults in Mayo General Hospital. Also €50,000 was raised for a forthcoming CF day care facility in Drogheda and a further €40,000 was invested in new supports for parents with newly diagnosed children with CF.

We encourage women to run in teams; so maybe you can get friends, family or colleagues involved – it’s a great way to get active and work towards something empowering for yourself, your team and for those living with CF in Ireland. 1 in 1000 will bring women together for a great cause, raising spirits, awareness, support and a huge sense of achievement that could not be realised by an individual alone. 

It sounds simple and it is, particularly when you realise how quickly we’re already moving towards that magical 1000. 

So, are you 1?
