Craic,
If you're looking at this page then by now you have some idea of what I'm fortunate enough to be apart of. Myself and 99 other college students have teamed up with 100 minds to raise money for Temple Street Childrens' Hospital. Words are pretty cheap and unless you have first hand experience of Temple Street or have had a loved one who is or has been in TS then you probably don't know or understand just how vital this campaign is.
Personally, and luckily, I had never had the misfortune of needing the life saving work that the medical staff in Temple Street do every day. Nor have I had any loved ones that have needed Temple Street aid or care so I in fact didn't know the full extent of what went on in this hospital. However a year ago I worked on the Lindt fundraising campaign for Temple Street and met some of the kids who were currently patients at the time and their families. Witnessing a child aged 4-6 with a tube coming out of their nose is a sobering site. Instead of playing, running around and having their parents tell them to behave, these kids were in wheelchairs, exhausted from treatment and could only look at other 'fortune' kids who were able to play. The fact these kids are in the position they are is no ones fault, it's just the way it is. However how we treat these sick children can be helped by us.
My goal is to raise 1000 Euro and combined with the other 100minds members, we hope to reach 100,000 euro by the 11th February. Please donate what you can,if not to my 100 minds page, then to someone else's page. The money will help purchase life saving machines and will help reduce the cost for families who must travel up to Dublin from all over the country 2-3 times a week. When a child is sick, a family is affected. Please donate what you can. You will be identified on this page for your generosity. On the 28th of December, myself and other members will be hosting a tag rugby tournament to raise funds. The tournament is still being organised however I will keep all of you up to date with the details. As Christmas is a time for giving, the tournament is a great chance for you to do your part. Plus playing the tag should lose you some of that Christmas weight you put on.
Thanks for your time.
Paul
