Mar

Last 23 rd. of March the second edition of the charity dinner SolidARAN was held in the Hotel AC Baqueira Ski Resort and some of the funds raised will go to the Mountaineers for the Himalayas Foundation.
All the organization and me are very pleased with all the support given by all the participants. I will like to underline all the support of the people of the Aran Valley who came to the dinner. Thanks to the work of EVALIA, company in charge of the organization of events in the Aran Valley and to Keith Kirwen the participation of the people of the Aran Valley has been amazing this year. They have transmitted us a lot of affection and support in this project during all the year, collecting clothes, contributing financially and participating in all the events we have organised during all the year. Thanks to all.
A LOT OF HEARTFELT SOLIDARITY IN THE VALLEY

I have just received a DVD which was delivered by courier. On the cover it says ‘Era Innocentada 2011’. I couldn’t help but smile. It is one of the best gifts that I’ve been lucky enough to receive this Christmas. Almost immediately memories of the children, who are being cared for by the Himalayan Mountain Foundation thousands of kilometres away, came flooding back to me. They are the reason for battling on and organising events like the last charity race that we held in the Aran Valley.
MY EXPERIENCE AT THE FIRST RACE ORGANISED BY THE JUAN XXIII FOUNDATION

On Friday 30th September I had the great pleasure of attending the very first race organised by the Juan XXIII Foundation. I have been a patron of this Foundation since last year, when I was lucky enough to visit this organisation and find out about the tireless work that they do on behalf of disabled people. I had the chance to get to know the people responsible for founding the Foundation and appreciate just how passionate they are about what they do. These guys make it possible for disabled boys and girls to have a better life and adapt to our society.
