Have put this in General Forum as well...
Hi Guys,
As you probably remember from last year, The MCOI got involved in helping the Cork City Hospitals Children's Club transport children from their hospitals down to see Santa in Fota just before Christmas. For these children, this is a wonderful experience and I, personally, was delighted to have helped out and it was worth it when I saw the delight in the childrens faces when they met Santa and all of the other characters at Fota House, as well as the huge feast and entertainment the charity had laid on for them. The MCOI and I have been very fortunate to work with this charity over the past two years and the club have asked us to be involved in this event again this year.
The event will involve collecting one or two children from the hospitals in Cork and driving them down in a procession to Fota House. Once there, the children get involved in the party and we are free to leave, although I have to say, last year, the guys from the charity looked after us extremely well.
There are three runs this year:
Thursday 3rd of December - 1st run at 8.00am from the CUMH (Cork University Maternity Hospital)
- 2nd run at 1.30 from the Cork Deaf Society on McCurtain St
Friday 4th of December - 8.15am from the Mercy Hospital.
I will be doing all three runs and it would be great to have as many Minis as possible for this. So, if any of you are free to take part, please let me know here or send me a PM. This is really something special to be a part of, so if you can, let me know.
Thanks again everyone,
Sarah
