Hi everyone! So better late than never but here we go! My name is Gemma Myles and I am a second year psychology student in WIT. I am delighted to have been given the chance to participate in 100minds 2015/2016. Children play a huge role in my life as I have two adorable baby sisters and a nephew that means the world to me! There’s nothing I love more than their three wee personalities but I know how lucky we am. There are plenty of children who sometimes just want someone to talk too and Childline are always there to listen. 100minds focuses on raising money for Childline. Without childline services, children of all ages may feel lost or alone. 100minds is a social enterprise founded in 2013, that brings together some of Ireland’s top college students and connects them with one cause to achieve big goals in a short space of time. Over 600,000 calls were made to ChildLine last year, that's almost 70 calls every hour. Last year ChildLines were greeted with a scare, as their night time services were nearly shut down. So many volunteers have given up their time to help these children, so now it's our turn, to ensure they never experience this scare again! The funding we will raise as a part of 100minds will go a long way in ensuring every childs voice call gets heard in 2016. Thank you so much for visiting my profile and for any donation however big or small, your money is going to impact the lives of so many children in Ireland and I really appreciate the support.

So clearly organising events is not one of my strongest qualities but with some time off from college this week, I have decided to give it a go again. On Wednesday the 23rd of March, I will be "Pedalling for Pennies" in Ardee's post office. All donations are greatly appreciated either on the morning or by simply clicking donate on this link. Thank You
Like Mother, Like Daughter

Where do I begin! Today I spent my time on an exercise bike in the local post office in Ardee, Pedalling for Pennies. Although my little legs feel like I have cycled from Waterford to Louth, it was definitely worth it! After seven long hours, a total of four hundred and fifty one euro and fifty three cent was raised! I am beyond thankful to everyone who made today a success and to all those who donated. It is more than appreciated as I come closer and closer to my target. For those who don't know me, I can be an emotional person. Today I really was overwhelmed by everyone's support especially to the one person who never left my side. It's true what they say "Like Mother, Like Daughter" and I hope I will continue to follow in her footsteps. Today would not of happened without my Mam's help along with Micheal Farrelly and Gary McKenny. 25 more days to go!
Every accomplishment begins with the decision to try.

The end is near but I am glad to say I have reached my target! Being a part of 100 minds has been an amazing experience for me. I have been provided with many opportunities to develop skills and learn not only about the working world but about what sort of person I am. Throughout my time with 100 minds, I began to lose the belief I had in myself. I pushed myself to reach a target that seemed so far away. I then decided no matter what, my work would still make a difference. I am now more than happy to say I have made that difference and raised €1,022 for Childline. I really appreciate everyone's support and donations. When we believe in ourselves we can make anything happen!
