    Hi,

    I recently watched a 2 part news piece on UTV which highlighted the horrific conditions that Romanian orphans are forced to live in - I want to help!

    I am thinking about walking the Dublin Marathon. It takes place on October 30th and it is a 28mile walk.
    I would love to do it in aid of the Romanian Orphan's, but I haven't got the first clue of who to contact with regard to arranging the sponsorship, generating publicity for the cause, etc.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    Thanks a million.

    Anne McElhinney (journalist with the Irish Times) has worked in Romanian orphanages and elsewhere for a number of years now. She may be able to offer you a few suggestions. I've chatted with her on similar issues previously. I can't seem to find her e-mail address- but if you check the Irish Times etc- you should probably find it.
