Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page - I’ve never done anything like this before so here goes...
Most of you are familiar with me serving pints in The Yellow Heifer, or standing at the ‘toll bridge’ in Camlough with a blue bucket raising money for the Southern Area Hospice. Times have changed dramatically for us all & charities are really struggling. So I’ve committed to walk 10km everyday for the month of July with the aim of raising much needed funds to help the hospice continue to do their amazing work. That’s 300km in 30 days, the equivalent of walking from Camlough to Cork.
I’ve been fundraising for a number of years for this great charity, to date I’ve raised £36k & with your help I’d love to get to £40k by the end of the Summer. People have been so generous over the years, when you’re standing with a bucket it’s very humbling to see the amount of money that’s donated by ordinary people. I’d be so grateful if all my friends and family would help with this fundraiser by clicking on the Just Giving page I’ve set up & donating whatever amount you can. I’m also incorporating a penny appeal - if anyone has any coins lying around that they’d like to offer they can be dropped off at The Yellow Heifer or contact me to arrange collection.
Thank you so much for all your support over the years.
