Welcome and thank you for clicking onto my 100minds fundraising page.

My name is Patrick, I graduated Maynooth University (2015) with a honours degree in Product Design. I took nearly two years out to travel and live in the USA and I am back in Ireland currently undertaking a Masters in Marketing at UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate Business School. It is important to seize opportunities when they present themselves and when I discovered 100minds I knew it was a community I wanted to be apart of. The number one reason for my participation is to raise money for a great cause but secondly I aim to challenge myself by setting high goals in hopes to reach and exceed the target set for this project.

Founded in 2013, this unique opportunity links likeminded college students from across the country and provides a common goal for all to achieve, raising money for a charity Whats unique about this entrepreneurial program is it pairs students with mentors, people who have previously completed the 100minds program. They can offer support and guidance throughout the whole process bringing their expertise from their professional background in major companies operating in Dublin.

Temple Street Children's Hospital Foundation is now using 100minds as an annual fundraiser for the hospital. In June 2016, the ownership of the brand and associated website was given to the Temple Street Foundation by Declan. The foundation now run the project helping to raise funds for vital equipment, patients support and to the families who visit the hospital throughout the year.
