Firstly, thank you to absolutely everyone who donated to my page. Secondly, thank you to everyone who turned up on the day and participated in the tournament. I made the point that although people donating was the priority, it would have been disappointing had people not shown up and played.

Without doubt, the biggest and most meaningful project I've ever been associated with. A big congratulations to Declan and his team and to everyone behind the idea of 100 Minds. Its incredible to meet young Irish people who create such selfless institutions that make such a difference.

Thank you to the nightclub Madison for hosting the night and donating 50% of the door receipts to my cause. Thank you to Wanderers RFC for accommodating us on such short notice. Unfortunately the pitches in Old Belvedere RFC were deemed unplayable 24 hours before the event however Ronan was quickly able to confirm Wanderers RFC as the new host. Thank you to KC Peaches who donated sandwiches on the day, boy were they ever wholesome.

And finally, thank you to Ellen, Ronan and Michael. A great team to work with in organizing the day and ensuring the success of the event.

The 100 Minds experience is a thrill like no other. You yourself are responsible for the success or failure of the event. The fear of failure was a great driving force in the progression and organization of the day.

Our project aside, the issue at hand is of course the patients of Temple Street. These 'pateints' are children. Babies, 1-6 years young. They and their families experience the true worries of life. Unless you have been in their shoes or have experienced Temple Street yourself, it really is unimaginable to comprehend what these families go through. With the money raised through 100 Minds, I hope 2014 is a year that sees their 'patients' become children again.

An absolute pleasure to be associated with.

26 days out from the event and the day itself nearly sorted. Ronan McNamara got us sorted with Old Belvedere RFC to host the tournament. Michael Burke made a great event page for the day and is on top of getting all the supplies needed for the day, as well as organizing the time management aspect of the day. Myself and Ellen Butler delighted to team up with Madison Nightclub hosting the party that night and we're extremely grateful for their generosity in donating door receipts to the cause. Currently reaching out to as many media outlets as we can to promote the day. To our shock, slots for the day were filled up in a matter of hours. A big thank you to all our friends who immediately signed up to participate in the day. Team captains who will be donating to my page ; Kelly Coughlan, Joe O Sullivan, Kevin Jones, Mark McShane and my dear pal Conor Williams, can't thank you guys enough for signing up as quick as you did. I ll try my best to have the day rigged so one of you win. Will add again closer to the date.

With only 10 days remaining until the tournament, things are starting to come together. Teams' donations are being finalized and the logistics of the day have been confirmed. A big thank you to KC Peaches who donated food for the day, it'll be greatly received on the day I imagine. Old Belvedere RFC have been nothing but accommodating through all the preparations for the day. Still trying to sort other food outlets for the day but remain confident we ll find one. Can't thank Ellen, Ronan and Michael enough for their professional approach and teamwork to the task at hand. Excited now for the day to commence.
