Tom Colton donates €2,400 to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital Crumlin
Tom Colton thanks Crumlin Children’s Hospital with €2,400
This week a client of mine, Tom Colton, has donated €2,400 to Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital in Crumlin, Dublin. Tom has a fairly controversial vocation, no it’s not the fact that he is a qualified accountant (which he is), but also that he is Ireland’s leading spiritualist medium.
Whether you are believer or a cynic in Tom’s ability, there’s not doubting his generosity. I recently did the PR on his very successful ‘Feel The Spirit’ national tour, that went to the four corners of the country, at each event Tom tirelessly pleaded for money for the hospital and had collection buckets on the way in and out. Thankfully Tom’s clients and supporters heeded his call – they gave generously.
Tom has given a great deal of time and effort to the Children’s hospital for free and asked for nothing in return. On 31st October he held a Halloween Ball in aid of the Hospital at the Red Cow Inn, again his time and marketing of the event were paid for by Tom (I also did the PR for free for the event).
Tom has very close affinity with the hospital after his daughter Katie was admitted thre with meningitis in 2007. She spent a week in Intensive Care and, with the help of the staff there, she has made a full recovery; this is Tom’s way of saying thank you to the hospital.
Tom is also undertaking a ten day trek through the rainforests of Brazil in October to raise money for the hospital. He is hoping to raise €10,000.
The hospital is desperate for fund as donations have reduced during the recession. I think this is a great cause and would like to ask anyone reading this blog post to give a donation to the hospital, no matter how small, via the hospital’s website charity http://www.cmrf.org/
