Marc's Heroics for Bernardo's & a Milestone for Axiom Belfast

Hi everyone,

First, I have to say a big Sorry to my good friend Marc in Belfast for the delay in writing about his fantastic achievement of completing the Belfast Half Marathon for Bernardo's, my charity.

Marc, everyone at Bernardo's and at Axiom is so proud of you. Thank you so much on behalf of all the children we support.

Here's Marc's message to all his fans

Hey guys,

Yesterday I ran the 2014 Belfast Half Marathon to raise funds and awareness for the partner charity of our axiom engage project; Barnardos NI.

Throwing on a T-Shirt with the white and green colours of Barnardos NI, I felt a healthy bit of pride for how much our axiom engage project has developed in such a short space of time. We now have a flourishing partnership with the charity, with a high level of awareness and an actively engaged office of axiomites!

The excitement and buzz grew as myself and the other 3,800 runners left the Kings Hall and onto the leafy suburbs of South Belfast, passing the University area we headed into Belfast City centre past the axiom Belfast office and towards the Belfast Harbour Estate. Running alongside the cranes which built the Titanic; myself and the other runners kept one foot in front of the other with steely determination. We then rounded into the newly developed Victoria Park and then back towards the Kings Hall to finish.

Clutching the winners medal I slowly made the long walk home, feeling ‘well chuffed’ helping to keep momentum with the axiom engage project and hopefully raising a few funds.

If you can spare few coins please support us by donating through just giving:

We will let Barney steal the show and pose with the impressive participants medal.

Here’s to looking forward to the 2015 full Belfast Marathon, anyone fancy creating a relay team…?

Cheers,

Marc

Well Done Marc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Shortly after Marc's heroics, Axiom Belfast (I'm quite emotional at this ..it's my home site ..) celebrated our 100th Team Member. We were all so excited - we had a big party, with champagne and balloons .. great day. Here's the party :

Barney's tour of Wroclaw

Hello again,

I've just had a fantastic weekend here in Wroclaw seeing the sights. Wroclaw is famous for it's dwarfs ! They're brilliant - they're everywhere .. I think there's about 200 of them. I saw lots of them over the weekend, but still have a lot more to find ..

I went to visit Ostrow Tumski. It's a really lovely district - very historical and beautiful. It's got lots of very traditional and very old churches and a huge cathedral .. The weather was great and I walked for miles !!!!!!!!!!!!! I was exhausted but I had a great weekend.

Here's a record of my travels ..



Night out with my new friends in Wroclaw

Hi everybody,

I'm here in Wroclaw (I'll have to explain to the Belfast crew how to say this. It's not what it looks like !  but I'm practising hard and I will be very good when I get back home to Belfast !). I'm spending a few weeks working here with all my new friends. It's a brilliant place and I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone here.

We had a night out in the museum across the road from the office. I had a great time exploring !!

< Here's some news & views from our night out Love Barney xx

London Town

Hi there friends and bloggers ...


I'm so excited to tell you about my first visit to London. I had a brilliant time. Kate brought me over. It was a very quick trip - just over in the evening, a full day in the London office where I met lots of new friends, and back home that evening. I had a fabulous trip.


I'm well used to the flights now, so I'm happy enough on a plane. I'd never been on a tube before (why do they call them tubes ? I thought it was toothpaste !).


Here's a few highlights of my brilliant trip to London.

Axiom / Barnardo's Quiz ..

Hi Folks,

Have to tell you about our first big fundraising event for our Axiom Engage Charity - Barnardo's.

My Mum, Charlene, and the Axiom Engage committee arranged a Pub Quiz and my Uncle Colin was Quiz Master. He was fab - a real Pro. (Well I would say that - my team won !!).

It was a fantastic evening. We all really enjoyed the quiz and we raised lots of money for Barnardo's.

Thanks to everyone who worked hard to make it a big success.

 Here's a little review of the evening ..



Love, Barney xx.

My Holidays !!

Thank You Sarah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Love,

Summer Fun ...

Hi there friends and bloggers,

Sorry I haven't been blogging for a while - I've been busy ! See my friends above, that's Grace, Conleth and Oscar Mallon. I've had a few sleep overs with them during the summer. We've had a great time - been to the park.

Had a really nice time on the swings. Then I brought Bumble for a walk. We walked for miles. I was exhausted when we got home ! Had to have a rest.

Here's Grace and me at work ..  we have a great little initiative underway. Grace makes loom band necklaces for our Id badges and my friends in the office give a donation to my Barnardo's Charity to wear them,. They're great fun. They're Orange (of course ) and they smell orange !

I love wearing mine and so do all my friends in the office.

Huge thanks to Grace for making them - we love them and they make lots of money for our Axiom Engage Charity - Barnadro's.

Bye for now,

Love,

Barney xx.
