Well at last the fund raising has begun. Last night at my Wicklow Uplands meeting I told the group about the cycle and received my second generous donation.
When I got home I created a Facebook group and invited 60 friends to join. I then fired off a short email to about 70 friends and went to bed. When I woke this morning I was delighted to find that people were joining the group and donations were starting to come in. Thank god for the internet, this would have been a lot slower to organize 10 years ago.
This afternoon I went into the Mater to meet up with Mary and Kerry from the Mater Foundation and to get my photo taken with my brother Joseph in front of Heart House. Joseph was directly involved with setting up Heart House and gave my a tour around the facility. Kerry and Mary are spreading the word about the cycle so hopefully this will give a boost to the fund raising efforts. Only one full day to go now and I have stacks of non cycle stuff to do so look like it will be a late night tonight.
