259 children were diagnosed with cancer in 2014 alone in Ireland. And that is only one of a plethora of diseases that befall children in this country each year.

These children haven't even learned about the biological function of their blood, yet they sit, confined to their hospital beds, watching that very same blood being drained from them day in day out for a never ending line of blood tests. I don't know about you, but I certainly don't believe that is the way these children should be living out their lives.

But what can you or I do? True, you may not be able to magically treat them or eradicate all diseases in the world, but what you can do is help brighten their day and foster the hope and joy that every child should have, no matter their circumstances.

100minds has partnered up with the Temple Street Hospital in Dublin to raise funds that will go towards helping sick children in a variety of ways, from life-saving equipment such as the Ultrasound Scanner, to facilitating activities such as face-painting and holiday parties. In the past four years, over €1,000,000 has been raised by the volunteers. This year we aim to raise €100,000 to help these children, and you can be a part of that too!

Simply click the donate button above and share whatever you can to drastically improve the lives of these children. You can show these children that, not only is there still good in this world, but that it is alive and ever growing.

Remind them that they are still children.
