Good morning, after noon, evening or night and welcome to my 100minds profile!
My name is Alan Lyne and I am a 1st year under graduate studying computer science at Maynooth University.
I signed up for 100minds because I love to challenge myself and what better way to do so then to raise much needed funds for the ISPCC Childline. Childline is such an inspirational cause and the work they do for children all across Ireland is absolutely mind blowing. Childline need all the support they can get and I am honored to have been selected for such an initiative as 100minds.
My passion lies in sport and fitness especially cycling where I compete competitively for Team Bike Worx, Celebridge. I think fitness and exercise is such an important aspect of our lives that is almost forgotten about in modern society. I hope to incorporate health and fitness into my fundraising ideas.
Since I was 13 I loved everything to do with computers. I created my first website at 14 years of age and I have grown my passion to create websites for the World Trade Center, Dublin and my schools YSI project. I think programming is an absolute necessity in modern life and something that children of all ages should be taught the basics of.
As of writing this, my head is bursting with ideas to rais money for Childline, I hope to hit my target and smash it by raising as much needed funds as I possible can. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my page and all support of any kind is appreciated. If you would like to get in contact with me please do not hesitate via the links above.
Many thanks, Alan Lyne.

Super Market Collection

My collection at Londis Plus in Summerhill was a huge success. We raised €115 for Child Line and got ever closer to 100minds Goal of €1000. Note I said 100minds goal, I say this because my goal is simply to raise as much money as I can until our deadline. Every euro makes a massive difference in a child's life and I will keep on fundraising till the very end!
