Try and think simple when fundraising. Simple events can be just as effective as elaborate. Take for example Colm and Arwen in Dublin just a couple of days ago. They did a bag pack and raised 1800 euros!

We have organised with the police to shake buckets on Grafton Street (Dublin's main shopping street) over the coming two weekends, hopefully that will bring in the balance! Other people in the group have organised quiz nights and dinners - it's been good fun so far, just dreading getting the injections next week!

Well done Colm!
