My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm aiming to longboard the length of Ireland from Mizen Head to Malin Head, Cork to Donegal, South to North. The journey will be done in two weeks during April 2009.

I’m doing this to raise money for the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and the Irish Heart Foundation (IHF). My son was born with a bicuspid aortic valve, a mild case and he should lead a full and happy life, hopefully discovering skateboarding and all it’s joys. He, like all of us needs to look after his heart.

Please visit my website www.boardfreeireland.com for more details.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
