Hi Everyone!
Welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit my 100minds profile page.
I am both extremely excited and honoured to call myself a participant for 100minds this year. I have always strived to promote social awareness for many charities throughout the years, challenging myself as well as encouraging others to do the same.
It was quite a surreal moment to discover I had been accepted to take part in such an incredible project. Last year, 100minds showed us what could be achieved when you harness the power of a large group of amazing people. This year, it is the ideas of 150 university students that will create a positive impact in today’s society by aiming to raise €150,000 in 100 days for two incredible Irish charities, Barnardos and Blossom Ireland.
Barnardos works with vulnerable children and their families, campaigning for their rights while providing them with services and support around the country. Blossom Ireland sets out to help children with intellectual disabilities, providing after school programs designed to help these children develop confidence and get the most out of education. For more information on these fantastic charities, please click on the following link: http://www.100minds.org/blossom-barnardos
During the course of the next 100 days I will be organising and hosting events to raise funds for these amazing charities and hopefully, with your help, raise in excess of €1,000. I will keep you all posted through the brainstorming, development and execution of these events so please stay tuned. If you have any questions or ideas, please contact me at geoghek@tcd.ie.
So how can you help? By simply clicking on the big red “DONATE NOW” button. No matter how big or small your contribution is, every cent is really appreciated and will make a big difference. All proceeds received will go DIRECTLY to each of the charities. For a breakdown of where the proceeds are going, please click on the following link: https://people.100minds.org/spend-breakdown
I want to thank you all in advance for your help and support during the coming weeks. Together, we can create an even BIGGER and BETTER year for 100minds and most importantly help these fantastic charities change the lives of Irish children.
Katie :)

So many ideas! What to do!
Who would like to go to a ball or maybe just some coffee? Anyone up for a run or how about a lazy movie evening?
Brainstorming with the 100minds team this week to try and make ideas come to life in true 100minds style. If anyone would like any input in the process please let me know! All ideas welcome!

I am so proud to announce that a total of €760 was raised for Barnardos and Blossom Ireland from my charity hockey tournament, the New Year's Resolution Cup, in St. Gerard's School on Sunday 11th January 2015. 80 girls from a variety of clubs and schools came together to play for these two amazing charities with Bray Hockey Club coming out on top and taking home the Cup.
I was completely overwhelmed by the incredible support I recieved from all those who participated as well as all my sponsors for which the day would not have been possible without. I want to say a huge thank you to:
St. Gerard's School
Gilmour Sports
P'O Kelly Ltd.
Mr. Hobbs Coffee
Loreto Dalkey School
Loreto Hockey Club
Bray Hockey Club
Monkstown Hockey Club
Our Lady's Hockey Club
and to all my amazing volunteers that helped out on the day.
I have now reached my 100minds target which is such an amazing feeling and can't thank everyone enough for all your time, support and generosity. Such a great way to start the New Year!
Stay tuned for more updates on my second event coming soon!

For my first fundraising event, I am hosting a Junior Girls Hockey Tournament in St. Gerard’s School on the 11th January, 2015. Players from a variety of schools and clubs will come together to battle it out for the New Year’s Resolution Cup to support the 100minds cause and the amazing partnered charities. Some of the top players and coaches from a variety of clubs will also attend to give invaluable advice to the players for their own development. There will be sponsored goodies and spot prizes also up for grabs so all in all it should be a great day. Stay tuned for more updates on this event over the coming weeks.
Through your continued support, the team have collectively raised €37,000 for Irish children. Myself and the team can’t thank you enough for all your help. Thank You!
