Hi everyone!

My name is Peter Smyth and I am a final year Music and French student in Trinity College, Dublin. This year I am happy to be selected to work with 100minds to raise funds for Temple Street Children's University Hospital.

Set up in 2013, 100minds is a programme which challenges 100 college students throughout Ireland to each raise 1,000 euro in 100 days. The hope is to raise at least 100,000 euro for Temple Street. This year the money raised will be used to purchase 8 new nasopharyngeal endosopes as well as a VuMax HD A/B Ultrasound Scanner. This equipment is not cheap and can be potentialy lifesaving for some children. The rest of the money raised will go towards family support and the Play Therapy Department. These two resources are fundamental in providing care for the children as well as their family during their stay and afterwards. Many of us are lucky to say we have never had to be in this circumstance but for the unfortunate few who do, we should do everything in our power to help them.

So over the next 100 days I will be updating my page about events and fundraisers I'll be hosting but in the mean time feel free to donate online and help me towards my goal. Even the smallest amount can make a huge difference and change the life of a sick child or their family.

Please feel free to contact me at pesmyth@tcd.ie if you would like to help out or have more questions regarding the programme, I will be more than happy to help.
