The Special Olympics World Winter Games is coming...

Starting in March 2017, I plan to join the Special Olympics team to the World Winter Games in Austria. Special Olympics is the world's largest sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, providing year-round training and competitions to more than 5.3 million athletes in nearly 170 countries.

Earlier this year I became involved as a volunteer for the Special Olympics, contributing my time and photography skills to promote the Special Olympics and their charitable work.

The places of the athletes are funded by the Special Olympics Charity but the place of a volunteer is not and it is down to the volunteer to raise the funds themselves. Please help me help them!

My target is £2700 and with your help I will be able to reach this goal.

There is a Justgiving page for donations and for messages of support. Here is the web address https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/james-hislop

For cash, cheques or bank transfers please send me your details and I will be in touch.

Shortly after the event I will be producing a movie with picture highlights and I will include sponsors names in the credits.

If you cant contribute financially but can help in any other way please get in touch, you can contact me on 07885 747191 or [email protected]

Many thanks

James Hislop

No bookings for the Easter weekend so my wife and I took the opportunity to head to Dublin and witness the commemoration of the 1916 Easter Rising.

Dublin is typically a busy and vibrant city full of characters but I have never seen crowds like that before, the military parade, the flypass and the days events all went well and was a very respectful day.
