CHILDREN IN HOSPITAL IRELAND ASKS WOMEN TO GET THEIR RUNNERS ON AND SUPPORT SICK CHILDREN
Just to let you know we are still looking for women to lace up their runners and run the 2010 Dublin Mini Marathon on our behalf!
We are looking for more people to get involved and are appealing to friends of Children in Hospital Ireland to do so. If you yourself choose not to participate, you might have a relative or friend who are interested! Similarly if you are taking part, a relative or friend might be interested in participating with you – the more the merrier!! This is the 40th year of Children in Hospital Ireland and we now have a team of 400 volunteers delivering 40,000 hours of play services every year to sick children in 20 hospitals around Ireland. These are very tough times financially and the Mini-Marathon is vital for Children in Hospital Ireland to allow us provide our volunteers with training, materials and toys that facilitate play for sick children who are upset and stressed because of their illness and stay in hospital.
The closing date for entries – Wednesday, April 27 - is fast approaching!!
To those of you who have already volunteered to participate on our behalf, a big Thank You!!
CHI sponsorship packs are available to anybody who wants to participate on our behalf. Anybody interested in doing so can contact me, Michael McGlynn, at Locall 1890 252682 or e-mail me at communications@childreninhospital.ie
