Sweet Charity
Posted 30 Aug 2009 in Work Life Balance | No Comments
Walking through Limerick’s Crescent today there was some serious bucket shaking going on. As one collector approached me I slowed my pace down a little. Sensing I was wavering he delivered the deal-clincher “It’s a very good cause, you know, building houses for all the coloureds in Africa”. He was collecting for the very worthy Niall Mellon Trust, and I knew what he meant. Nonetheless I smiled to myself whilst popping in some loose change.
I am shaking my own virtual bucket now as I am going to run the Limerick Women’s Mini Marathon on Sunday 4th October. I did it 3 years ago (my first ever sporting event!) and ran the 7k in 50 mins. This year I am going to put myself under a bit of pressure and aim for 32 mins. I am running in aid of Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin and all donations are greatly appreciated. I have never had cause to use Crumlin Children’s Hospital and I sincerely hope I never do. I can imagine little worse than one of your children being seriously ill and I think Our Lady’s in Crumlin do truly fantastic work.
And to encourage you to dig deep 
here’s a snippet from the 1969 film Sweet Charity:
