100minds is a unique initiative that brings students together to achieve a common goal and I am delighted to have been selected as a member of the 2017 team.

100minds is a simple concept in which 100 students strive to raise €1000 each, in a combined effort to achieve €100,000 and have 100 days to do it.

Our goal is to raise money for a new satellite classroom for St.Gabriel’s Ward in Temple Street Hospital. The children in this ward are recovering from brain injury and can be in the hospital for a number of months. This satellite classroom gives them the opportunity to feel a sense of normality, encourage their recovery and prevents them from falling behind in their education.

Every cent counts - many small donations accumulate and support this great cause. We, the 2017 team, are aspiring to go above and beyond our target, appealing to you to donate even €1 to the 100minds charity. The process is quick and easy - click the donate button and show your support.

Over the coming months, I will be raising awareness and organizing events to raise money for St.Gabriel's Ward. Keep an eye out for some exciting events and opportunities to get involved.
