Hello there, and welcome to my 100minds fundraising page! Thank you for taking the time to visit and read my page!
My name is Grace Heneghan and I am currently studying a masters in Biotechnology and Business from UCD. I am delighted to be chose to take part in 100minds this year! 100minds is a social enterprise project founded in 2013 which brings together innovative and talented students across many backgrounds, all with the goal of raising much needed funds for a chosen charity. The students are encouraged to raise€1000 by running different fundraising projects which require them to apply and develop their own personal skill set. This year, 100minds has decided to recruit 100 top students to collectively raise €100,000.
What will your donation do?
This year 100minds will be working towards Temple Street Children's Hospital. St.Gabriel'sward in Temple Street Hospital specialises in neurosurgery and craniofacial surgery. Many of the children who attend this ward are seriously ill and require round-the-clock care. The funds raised by 100minds participants will go directly to creating a dedicated satellite classroom for these children and will have a hugely positive impact on the children's recovery period.
This is a really great cause and any donation made big or small is greatly appreciated. Thanks for visiting my 100minds profile page and I hope everyone can support this remarkable cause!

Pub Quiz: A great success
Posted: over 2 years ago
I am thrilled to say that the pub quiz on Friday evening was a success! After having sent emails to local schools and businesses, put up posters around Galway city and made announcements on Galway Bay FM and iradio I was still apprehensive about the turnout on the night.
It was also more difficult than I expected to get prizes for the raffles but having spend a few days going door-to-door I managed to get some brilliant prizes including a night away in a hotel!
Thankfully a huge crowd came to support the cause and we even had to get more tables from another room to accommodate people! It was a brilliant night and everyone really enjoyed it! We also had an auction for a gym membership voucher for the Radisson blue in Galway which someone bought for €200!
Most importantly the total funds raised on the night came to €1500. It was a really enjoyable expericence and I am delighted to contribute to the Temple Street Foundation in such a way!
