    Thanks to Paul & all in the Jackpot for running this event.

    Just to let the boardsies know a little about this charity.

    The Children come to Ireland for RESPITE not a holiday (although they usually have a ball) because the radiation levels in their Country are still shocking(and will be for hundreds of years). The childrens immune system is eaten away by radiation and their immune system puts up the fight against radiation poisoning. With fresh air and good food (even with me cooking!) each week they spend in Ireland adds 1 YEAR to the life expectancy of each child.

    The children come to Ireland for 4 weeks during the summer (when the radiation is at it's worst). The fantastic families that take the children pay for food, clothes (some of the kids get here with just the clothes on their backs) and any upkeep that is required for them. They only thing we fundraise for is the Flights, transfers and visas. The costing per child is approx €650.00 per visit. This €650.00 gives each child a 4 YEAR ADDITION to their life expectancy.

    I have taken a girl since she was 8 years old. When she came to us she had a pre cancer condition in her stomach. She had no english (a bit like DAMO72) and now, after 6 summer visits (and a few sneaky Christmas ones), she is fluent in english and was told by her doctors last year that her health is now 100%

    I now take 8 kids in every year that go to host family's and want to give a chance to more and more children and, with your help, Lorraine and I can do this.

    So, I ask if any TD's or Onliners can organise sats for this (for the SUNDAY game) it would be greatly appreciated. Myself and Paul are going all out to make this an event to remember. We are going to hound all the big names in the Poker & Celeb world to come along to be a part of this and Jamie Gold is going to send me over some great items to auction/raffle for both nights....

    I am in contact with 2 hotels in walking distance from the venue who will come back to me over the next couple of days with a nightly/weekend rate
