Planning the Vintage Run

So it's very busy here at Rigney's Farm getting the Fundraiser Day off the ground.
With my hard working Mother and tractor loving Father, we've planned a Vintage Car and Tractor Run to help raise funds. The run will leave from our farm and the cars will take a long leisurely route along the Coast Road and the tractors will take a shorter scenic route with tractors and cars returning to Rigney's Farm at the same time.
After a "tough" afternoon driving through beautiful West Limerick, all our drivers will get some delicious refreshments from Rigney's Farm produce and a nice cup of tea.

Spread the word to all your friends and family. It'll be a great day out in aid of very worthy causes!

FUNdraising begins!

Hey everyone,
been a busy bee all weekend thinking of different and exciting fundraising ideas for our very worthy charities.
You can check out Rebecca's Fundraising Page on mycharity.ie, it's a safe and secure way to donate!

Any donations, big or small, will go a very long way to helping sick children! So please show your support!

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

To continue of from my big adventure to Australia last year, I've been accepted to climb to the roof of Africa. Yes people, I'm gonna climb Kilimanjaro! And I can't wait!

It's all happening, had blood testing done on Thursday (April 19) to check for important markers like iron levels and white blood cells. And since this morning, I've booked an appointment to get all my jabs! Yellow Fever, Tetanus, Hep A and B, so that should be wonderful! Joke! 

I'll be raising funds for Chernobyl Children International, a foundation set up by Adi Roche in 1991. Since it's beginning, they've brought 91 million euro worth of aid to the radiation zones around Chernobyl, and brought over 22,000 sick children to rest and recuperate in Ireland.

With the funds raised from the climb in August this year, they will be able to provide 50 life saving cardiac operations! 

Money will also be raised to help Our Lady's Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin. It's a most deserving cause, so with your sponsorship, it will help provide funding for it's Intensive Care Unit. It's Ireland's largest pediatric hospital, and it's also the national centre for cardiac surgery and medical research for childhood illnesses.

Any support and sponsorship you can give will go a long way to helping these really important charities.

I'll be keeping this blog updated with all my training for the climb!
