All the way back in January, you DoneDealers voted for me to train for a mini marathon.

Well I got my runners, picked my charity and registered for the Flora Mini Marathon taking place in Dublin and the June Bank Holiday Monday.  I’ll be sure to take lots of pics of the big day!

The charity I picked to walk for is A Little Lifetime Foundation.  This charity is possibly not as well known as some charities, but the cause is one that I think has touched more of our hearts than we realise.

A Little Lifetime Foundation (formerly Isands) is a voluntary organisation, founded in 1983 by a group of bereaved parents whose babies died before or at birth (stillbirth) or some time after birth (neonatal death) offering support and help for parents and families.

Every penny for this great charity will be greatly appreciated and go to a really meaningful cause.  If any of you DoneDealers would like to donate to this great cause, you can do so here and I will personally owe you a HUGE hug for helping such a great cause!

And that’s another year’s Eurovision over with!  Thanks to all you DoneDealers for entering our Eurowinner competition.

We had a really great response to this competition and now it’s time to put you all out of your misery and announce this months WINNER!
