My Fundraiser in Dublin :)

With the help of family and friends I will be arranging a funfilled fundraising night on January 28th 2011 in McGowan’s of Phibsboro, Dublin 7 (http://www.mcgowans.ie/) and hope to see as many of you there as possible :) For those of you not in Ireland, feel free to invite friends and family over here to the evening. Upstairs from 7.30pm until 11.30pm – Disco afterwards J Drop me a line for more info at allyson.gormley@sportingbet.com

So why is it different from a regular Race night?? I’ve been to one before and it really is such a great night of fun - LIVE ACTION RACING - NO VIDEO OR FILMS YOUR CHANCE TO BE A JOCKEY - ‘Trojan Horses Racing’ is a novelty fundraising event. It does not use the traditional video or film formats to run a race-night. A set off small metal horses are employed on a racetrack and spindles which operate the horses are used by the race-goers who act as ‘Jockeys’.

Also, I have a raffle arranged throughout the evening with some fantastic donated prizes from SPA breaks to a Nintendo Wii J So hopefully I’ll raise lots of money with that.

My Story: After making a 60 second video on "Why I want to climb Kilimanjaro", see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWOmE3O7rdU&feature=player_embedd...ed

 , I was chosen as 1 of the 3 Sportingbet worldwide employees to climb Kilimanjaro along with 13 others. I'm from a family of 5 girls and I cannot wait to get to the top of Kilimanjaro! A big thank you to my sisters, Daddy / Orla, colleagues and brilliant friends for supporting me and believing I can do it! I’ve been working as a PA at Sportingbet Dublin for 10 months now, have a real lust for life, relish a challenge and am looking forward to being part of a great group of people whilst raising money for charity. So with all the hard work done, “ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no river wide enough” Don't worry... I'll leave the karaoke machine at home after my video :) Kilimanjaro, here I come!

14 days and counting…. J
