My Personal Message

Hello!

Thanks for visiting the Save a Life Campaign's fundraising page. We are group of Secondary School Students from two Dublin North Inner City Schools who have come together as part of our Localise Schools Programme to help children with congenital heart disorders by fundraising enough money for life saving equipment for two worthy charities: Heart Children Ireland and Chain of Hope Jamaica. Our aim is to fundraise as much money as possible for these charities.

Over the past 10 weeks and with the help and guidance of a few volunteers, we have organised a charity football match for the 5th of December. We expect to have a few sporting celebrities, FAI ambassadors, members of both charities and their families, fellow students, teachers and community groups. We have organised a fundraising at the Ireland-Estonian match, sale of tickets for the charity football match, a sports memorabilia auction in order to achieve our targets. We will appreciate your help too! Help us make the lives of these children better. Have a heart, SAVE A LIFE!

Your donations are greatly appreciated. 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.

Many thanks in advance for your support,

About my charity

Heart Children Ireland

Heart Children Ireland is a support group for parents and families of children with a congenital Heart Defect.  CHD is the most common of all birth defects affecting one in every one hundred children born at present.  About half of all babies born with CHD will require heart operations and at present, over 400 open heart operations are performed annually on children from one day old to teenagers.

We are a voluntary nationwide group and receive no government funding. We depend entirely on our own fundraising and donations from individuals and businesses.  Over the past 18 years we have raised over €2m for the Cardiac Unit at Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.

We offer support through a shared understanding and awareness of the problems and needs that a child with CHD can bring. 

We support the Cardiac Unit at OUr Lady's Children's Hospital in Crumlin.

We produce a quarterly magazine Heartstrings

We provide a professional counselling service.

We support our grown up group - Chairde mo Chroi

Social events where parents can meet and talk
