    As you know I have lung fibrosis,(IPF) awaiting a lung transplant,and i know times are hard, a few of you have asked if there is anything you can do, heres your chance if you can do this I would really appreciate it- all money raised is for Irish Lung Fibrosis - Jim Egan is the doctor, looking after me.

    Wicklow 200K Cycle sunday 13th june

    For those of you who are not eligible for the Women's Mini-Marathon, or if you prefer a faster mode of exercise, the countdown is on to the Wicklow 200K Cycle which will take place on Sunday, 13 June, 2010.

    This year the cycle will start and finish in Greystones, Co. Wicklow an the route will largely be the same as the 2009 route.(greystones -rathdrum via avoca and ashford)
    Once again Professor Jim Egan and a team of cyclists will take on this challenge to raise funds for ILFA. You can encourage them with your sponsorship by contacting ILFA or phoning us at 086 8715264 or 086 0570310.

    or you can contact myself.

    Hi Pam

    I'd love to do something, but am not the right man for either event ....

    How about paying to watch the Women's Mini-Marathon or sponsor some outfits for the competitors or something ? ;-)

    Jokes aside, are there ways to sponsor competitors perhaps ?

    Finally got round to signing my donar card and putting it in my wallet. Will admit I had a few reservations about it but once I read the details I signed no problem.

    Will get a couple of quid sorted. Keep her going Pam YNWA.
