Rosie & Jim have donated €500 to the annual Musgrave Triathlon fundraiser. This year it's a bit different.
The Musgrave Triathalon has helped raise a staggering €4.8 million for a number of charities. In 2019 they raised €220,000. They distributed these funds by giving €140,000 to Breakthrough Cancer Research to fund another Musgrave Cancer Research 3-year PHD Scholarship with the aim to improve cancer care and increase survival rates. €40,000 to AsIAm to employ a community support officer to provide one to one advice and guidance to the autism community. It also funded a series of events, across the country addressing issues which the community support officer identifies are common trends and challenges for the community. €40,000 to Focus Ireland, which were used to help 45 young people leaving state care to access the support, skills, education and develop the confidence they need to live independently.
As we all know well 2020 has been a year unlike any other we have ever encountered and through this pandemic charities have been one of those areas that have been hit hard. So, for 2020 they are doing something a little different - the “Musgrave Triathlon…. That’s not a triathlon” Virtual event. The chosen charity is Breakthrough Cancer Research.
For the month of November they will run the “Musgrave Triathlon…. that’s not a Triathlon” for colleagues, retailers and suppliers of Musgraves. The event has a range of activities that you can chose from and the aim is to complete them over the month of November. You can sign up for 50km or 100km and your activity can be swimming, cycling, running, walking etc. how you build up your kilometers is up to you. There is also an option to do activity hours of 15 or 30 hours and this can be for aerobic classes, yoga, spinning or gym work. Finally, there is an option to sign up to challenges which will be set for the month and weekly videos distributed these will include, toning, aerobic and yoga challenges.

Make-A-Wish® Ireland has one simple aim - to grant the wishes of children aged between 3 and 17 years living with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. A wish granted is true magic for the child, providing respite from their normal routines of hospitals, doctors and treatment. Since inception in 1992 they have granted over 2,000 wishes in Ireland. They believe a wish can have a lasting impact on a child's life. A wish can create moments of joy - and memories that last a life-time.
Rosie & Jim have donated €500 to the Make-A-Wish® Ireland Christmas Campaign.

Our Family Fun Day took place in August again this year – a day for all our families to come together and celebrate in LauraLynn. It is one of the most special days here in our children’s hospice.
This year our theme was Superheroes and Princesses, with some amazing costumes on the day from kids and adults alike!
After the overwhelming success of this event last year, Rosie & Jim generously sponsored this event for us again, ensuring we could make this fabulous day possible for all our families.
Rosie & Jim are excited to share we have signed up as a Wolfgang Reforester to plant native Irish trees in the places they once flourished.
The Wolfgang Reforest ambition is to create a movement of people planting trees. Planting trees can revitalise wildlife and reverse climate change.
It costs €20 per month to provide for the planting of 12 trees. Rosie & Jim will provide for the planting of 12 trees per month. This is annual contribution of €2800 and 144 trees planted per year on behalf of Rosie & Jim's efforts to offset our carbon emissions.

We're delighted to sponsor Andrew Wallace €150 for his charity race to raise awareness for Amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis (am-uh-loi-DO-sis) is a rare disease that occurs when a substance called amyloid builds up in your organs. Amyloid is an abnormal protein that is produced in your bone marrow and can be deposited in any tissue or organ.
Well done to Andrew who is on track to fundraise his aim of €5000.
*UPDATED August 2019*
Andrew not only made his target he completely shattered it! Making a huge €21,000 himself, then a charity benefactor matched his donation, so that has now been turned into a whopping €42,000!! Fantastic News - well done Andrew!

An update from Percy's puppy raiser, Eva, has us beaming with pride! Percy, the goodest boy, is thriving at five months old.
He's a natural on the lead, with perfect walking manners and a recall that's spot-on!
Percy's formed strong bonds with IGD brood dog Bella and their pet cat, enjoying cozy snooze sessions in the evenings.
Despite a tough bout with a tummy bug before Christmas, Percy's bounced back stronger than ever. He's a true softy at heart, melting hearts with his love for cuddles.
Here's to Percy's continued growth and cuddle-filled adventures!
A number of weeks ago, an employee of ours asked for support for his daughters friend, who is fundraising for the Kolkata school project. Rosie & Jim were delighted to donate chicken products for their fundraiser. It was a fantastic night and the girls raised over €1800!

Dear Rosie & Jim,
Thank you very much for your support in our fundraiser event last Saturday, the 3rd of October. Our fundraising efforts were in aid of our Immersion Experience to Kolkata with our school next February, were we will have the opportunity to work with disadvantaged children.
Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
