Hello there and welcome to my 100Minds profile!

My name is Anne Lavelle and I am 21 year old final year Law student in University College Dublin. I am delighted to have been accepted as a participant for the 100 Minds Campaign for 2016/2017. Firstly I would like to explain the idea behind the organisation and will then guide you through how I hope to fulfil my role as an ambassador for the programme this year.

What is 100Minds and where will the money raised be used this year ? One-hundred university students in Ireland have been chosen to be a part of the charity project with the aim of raising €1,000 each. This year the money raised will be going towards the life saving work that is carried out in Temple Street Children's Hospital in Dublin. At the launch night, a representative from the hospital gave us an acute description of where any donations will be spent this year. The money will be used to create a bespoke classroom for St. Gabriel's Ward, which looks after some of the most vulnerable patients in Temple Street, many of whom are recovering from complex neuro and cranio-facial surgery. This classroom will help enormously with their rehabilitation and return to everyday life and will be tailored 100% to their medical and learning needs. School is a very important part of the everyday life of many children and to be able to contribute to restoring some normality and stability in these children's lives will be a very rewarding gift.

I am delighted to be able to partake in a charity that is raising money for a place that is so close to the hearts of many families living in Ireland today. Any donation to the cause is greatly appreciated and all proceeds will go directly to Temple Street Children's Hospital. Any amount , no matter how small can make a huge difference to the lives of these children and I believe that together we can achieve the final goal!
