Sponsorship for WWR 2007 (Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin)

BigCon

Hi all,

Having spent all day yesterday in the hospital with my youngest (he needed surgery on a finger that was caught in a door - that's him on the left below at the NEC bike show this year with his brother) it struck me how lucky I am to have a healthy family and how I, like a lot of people I’d imagine, take for granted, the magnificent work that the folks at Crumlin do on a daily basis.

As a "biker", I’ve decided to take part in the 2007 Whole Way Round trip in order to contribute in my own small way to the Children's Medical & Research Foundation at Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.

The total required is €1000, of which I need to have the deposit of €250 paid by Jan 23rd (bet you can see where this is heading already...)

Anyhow, I've created this thread (with Devore's permission - thanks Tom) to try to get you good folks to part with some of your hard earned cash!!!

I realise this is a bad time of the year, with the expense of Christmas etc, so even a donation of €1 would be appreciated - every euro counts.

If you wish to donate, you can do so by sending it via paypal to conordotmooreatgmaildotcom (replacing the bold letters with the symbols . and @).

Thanks one and all for reading...

Hey BigCon, i did WWR 06 and plan to do 07. good idea posting for sponsorship on boards, i should have done the same!

Did you do 06?

BigCon

No I didn't do '06, but have been itching to do a decent charity run for some time now.
I saw the documentary about the '06 run - looked like good craic...

MrPudding

Ha, I registered for it also. I wonder how many boards people will do it?

My 8 year old daughter wants to do it with me. A bit too young?

have registered myself, just waiting on the uncle (whos a foot taller and about a foot wider than me) "talking" a few people into sponsoring me

Ive got my employers sponsoring me for a good bit and am waiting to hear back from my last boss, Im picking up a bmw in bikeworld on Saturday so theres no harm in asking for a few shekkles

BigCon

A couple of people have pm'd me asking if there was any way of donating other than paypal. So if you'd like to donate, but don't use paypal, then you can send the donation to me at:

Conor Moore,
68 Rossvale,
Portlaoise,
Co. Laois.

Thanks once again for the support!

Chunkylover

Just to let anyone know thats thinking of doing the whole way round trip, they are near to the 100 entries so if you havnt applied but would like to do it, you will need to apply as soon as possible

BigCon

Hi all,

Just wanted to sat a big thank you to everyone that contributed to this so far - I have just paid my deposit today, thanks mainly to the generosity of Biker.ie folks, where I had a similiar fundraising thread running

Subway deserves a special mention for his generous donation

Still accepting sponsorship from anyone that wants to donate to this great cause - cash or cheque to Conor Moore, 68 Rossvale,
Portlaoise, or via Paypal to [EMAIL="conordotmooreatgmaildotcom"]conordotmooreatgmaildotcom[/EMAIL]

Don't forget, as Chunkylover says, there's only 17 places left open for this ride (out of 100) so get in there quickly if you want to go...

Thanks once again...

MrPudding
