I share your sentiment, Beatrice, but it's actually breaking h2g2 house rules to post links to commercial sites (including charities).

Yes, a post of mine got slapped hard because someone thought an Association was a for-profit thing. Then upheld it because they said it was "off-topic" (no mentions of Lightfoot or rhino hunting) and finally was considered to be soliciting personal details and e-mails. Neither of which are apparently allowed any more

Just post enough information for people to find it without actually linking explicitly.

Oooh, that's a cool idea!
Right, if you google oxfam trailtrekker ireland, and search for the team named "8 legs good" (the inference that 2 legs bad is implicit, natch) you'll be able to help us with our fundraising!
The walking team is Z, Trig, King Bomba and Malabarista, and I'm in charge of the Support Vehicle. Just reading the leaflet they've sent me, I'm supposed to provide a picnic table with parasol, and a glass of champagne when they cross the finish line! Hah!
My aim on starting this was to give you techy savvy guys a link that you could copy and paste into your various Facebook and Twitter personae, and get a bit of viral spreading happening (ewwww, where's that first aid kit?)

Just on that first aid kit - forget it. Chuck 'em in the bin. We don't need them.
I have in my possession a piece of paper - well, a book - called "Irish Country Cures". Turns out everything can be cured by applying the right amount of dung to the right part of the body in the right way. 
And I'll never suffer another migraine now that I know I just need to anoint my temples with the spit of a fasting person.

But yes, all that aside, please do go to http://netbel.oxfamireland.org/netcommunity/trailtrekker2011-ni and search for "8 Legs Good!"
It's a perfectly non-commercial webpage.
