Dear Editor

Yours sincerely

I would like to canvas the support of colleagues for a united approach to the Financial Institutions doing business in the State. The purpose of the approach to the aforementioned Financial Institutions would be to seek their agreement, that henceforth they would make their The Great Brazi l ian Cha l l enge Solicitor walks in the Jungle to raise funds. In an effort to raise £150,000.00 for two well known charities, The Richmond Brain Research Foundation and The National Council for the Blind of Ireland, Pat O'Connor, a solicitor from Swinford has undertaken a walk of 200 kilometres in Brazil - The Great Brazilian Challenge. He was selected from over 300 applicants for a place on the forty member team. Pat believes wholeheartedly in both causes and he is fully committed to participating in this high profile event. The Great Brazilian Challenge will include the Rain Forest, Amazon River, Iguassu Falls and Rio de Janeiro and will take place in June. Pat has already raised general. He would like to thank all those who have contributed. Anyone else who would like to sponsor Pat in his endeavour should contact him at: Pat O'Connor & Son, Market Street, Swinford, Co. Mayo.
