Right folks, I'm delighted to announce that http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aoibheanns-Pink-Tie/295884880424139" rel="nofollow - Aoibheann's Pink Tie and http://www.shineonline.ie/" rel="nofollow - Shine are YBIG's chosen charities for 2013. Both do fantastic work and we are looking forward to help them raise funds throughout the coming year. Clap

Aoibheann's Pink Tie

History of APT:
We are trying to build an organisation to support the families of children suffering the horror of childhood cancer, Aoibheann's Pink Tie is dedicated to the memory of our precious daughter and sister Aoibheann Norman. In all the events we held for Aoibheann during her brave battle against cancer we asked everyone to wear pink Ties to show their support for her, even when we had to say goodbye (Till we meet again). Aoibheann's Pink Tie is a great way to remember our Darling Aoibheann, the pink for girls the tie representing boys, thanks for all the support please help us spread the word.

Mission of APT:
APT's primary focus is on helping the families of the children. That means, whatever will lift some of the burden of everyday life, we will do. This will allow them the ability to focus on their child and working through their illness. Families are often lost in the mix a lot of times when children go through this battle, but its not just the child that gets cancer, its the whole family as each is affected and must struggle. This could mean anything from rewiring a house to a fundraising event that will send the family on a holiday. In the past we have done the little things like negotiated with mobile phone companies for free credit, to move a family to a donated house just so the child had an healthly warm environment to spend their last days. We can also just be somebody to turn to. Jimmy Norman, Aoibheann's father, is our primary spokesperson as he can speak directly to the families having lived through it himself.

All the families that we get involved in are referred through Jimmy (Aoibheann's Dad). Either through the hospitals or through word of mouth from other families that APT has helped.

Our goal is to expand and grow APT into an official charity and a leading voice of support while people are going through their darkest hours.

Please Note: At this time, APT is not an officially recognised charity in Ireland. We do however give 100% of everything we raise to the particular family we are helping at the time.

I'm running on St. Patricks Day in support of http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aoibheanns-Pink-Tie/295884880424139?group_id=221528971307929" rel="nofollow - Aoibheann's Pink Tie .

Anyone who has ever been touched by Childhood Cancer knows that the battle involves the entire family. I can still remember the day that I got the news that one of my best friend's daughter Aoibheann was sick. Devastation is not nearly strong enough to describe it. Throughout her battle, she became more than just my friend, she became my Hero.

From her inspiration, Aoibheann's Pink Tie was born in her memory. 100% of the money raised goes towards supporting and providing practical help to any family while their child is fighting the battle to beat Cancer. In the past couple years APT has been growing leaps and bounds based on the brilliant work that they do. 2012 saw APT's affiliation with the Irish Cancer Society and Olympian Gold Medalist Katie Taylor agreeing to be APT's Ambassador.

This will be my first race since tearing my achilles tendon. Please support me in my fundraising for this wonderful charity. Go raibh mile maith agat. (Please share)

ANOTHER €2000 donated to the YBIG 2013 Charities, Aoibheann's Pink Tie and Shine. The money was won through the Inter Sevens 7 a side leagues. http://www.intersevens.com/" rel="nofollow - www.intersevens.com

After each season the winning teams play in a 6 team tournament to win the charity money...finally the Denim Dazllers win (losing finalists in YBIG 7 aside Kings tournament). In total the league will donate €30,000 in a calendar year to charities or local area needs.

The last game was DD V Lok Dachs, the German team needed a draw and DD had to win which they did 1-0. Good to know one Irish team beating a German team

The inter Sevens leagues are currently looking for new teams, locations Irishtown Ringsend, YMCA Sandymount, and in Mount Temple Clontarf. get in contact to play competitive football.

Denim Dazzler's are my Monday team, I wasn't playing yesterday...prob the reason they won Big smile

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved with You Boys in Green for your fundraising efforts for Shine in 2013. John Saunders (Shine's Director) and I picked up the cheque from Brian yesterday.
We really appreciated your support and the generous amount you raised will be of great use to Shine helping us provide services like our helpline, support groups for people with mental ill health and their families, training and information services.

Best wishes on behalf of everyone at Shine!

To all my great friends in YBIG this is a post I have just posted up in Aoibheann's Pink Tie. We used the money you all raised to buy special Dry suits for kids with cancer, the children have a device called a Hickman inserted to give Chemo and take bloods, it means the child cannot go swimming or even have a bath.
A company in England developed these suits to allow the children swim and have a bath again. they cost 300 Euro each so they are expensive but the joy they bring is beyond words. You the brilliant Irish supporters club have purchased 16 of these suits so the maths is easy. All the money you raised went straight to the kids no fee no top ups no salaries. I am proud to say I am an Irish supporter and I am very proud of your efforts. Jimmy Norman Chairman Aoibheann's Pink Tie.

Message on APT Facebook page
Jimmy Norman
AOIBHEANN’S PINK TIE.
To all the families of our page, we have some wonderful news this morning. The Irish supporters club YOU BOYS IN GREEN (YBIG) who have supported Aoibheann’s Pink Tie since the day we started raised 5,000 Euro for Aoibheann’s pink Tie in numerous events in 2013.
It has been decided by Aoibheann’s Pink Tie to use this money in a way we feel will bring great joy to the children we love and respect.
So here is the happy news for a lot of you on our page; last week we had 15 entries for the Hammond Dry suit draw, the Committee have decided to give everyone who entered the draw a dry suit for their princess/Hero.
This means that every Euro donated by YBIG will go directly to the people it was meant to go too, not one penny used for anything else except the joy of the kids we love.
We at Aoibheann’s Pink Tie know that this will bring huge joy into the hearts of our darling children, I know because I would have given anything for my Darling Aoibheann to have had the opportunity to get one of these amazing suits.
We hope that the inspirational work and fund raising by YBIG will bring joy into many lives.
The committee of Aoibheann’s Pink Tie.

More money has been raised for Aoibheann's Pink Tie, through http://www.facebook.com/intersevens" rel="nofollow - www.facebook.com/intersevens leagues.

My team won the 2nd Division finals, and won €1350 to donate to them. Deantus Media came third in the 1st Division finals and won €325 for them as well. The team won 10 tickets to Ireland v Gibraltar and 10 bottles of wine

In total Inter7s will be allocating
€4,000 back to the local area and clubs.
€3,000 to SVP
€1,675 to YBIG (Aoibheann's Pink Tie)
€1,325 to Sandymount Matero Fellowship.

That's for one season only, we have three seasons in a year. We are looking for teams to join the new season, with leagues in Clontarf, Ringsend and Sandymount.

I haven't been online here in a long time . I just wanted to share something with you . In September 2014 my the. 8 year old daughter Lucy was diagnosed with cancer . It's been a hard time with a major operation and aggressive chemotherapy . Aoibheans Pink tie have been a great support to Lucy and us . Jimmy Norman and APT do amazing work for the families of StJohns ward . Some struggle need financial support , some just need moral support . I know countless families that have been supported by APT. So from the families of ST Johns ward can I just say a big thank to Ybig for all the fundraising .

Jimmy is an an absolute hero in fairness, everyone at YBIG are extremely proud to be associated with Aoibheann's Pink Tie.

From Facebook post

https://www.facebook.com/aoibheannspinktie/?rc=p" rel="nofollow - Aoibheann's Pink Tie You Boys in Green have been with Aoinbheann's Pink Tie since the very start of our journey.
They knew Aoibheann and we still have the Jersey they presented to our darling baby.
The Jersey is signed by every legend in Irish soccer and is one of the most precious things we have.
About four years ago YBIG donated 5,000 euro to Aoibheann's Pink Tie which enabled us to give every child fighting cancer a Hickman dry suit, which has now become a corner stone of our humanity.
I don't know how to thank everyone in YBIG but team Aoibheann love and respect the love and compassion they have shown the children of this world fighting cancer.
Team Aoibheann send our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in all the fund raising efforts in our name.
Happy Christmas to everyone in YBIG and to all the fans of Irish soccer.
There is a light that never goes out.

Team Aoibheann.
