I first became involved with Ozanam House a few years back, volunteering with the homework club and then the summer project. Since moving away from Dublin I haven’t been involved with the centre for a while. I was so excited to hear that the centre were looking for volunteers to take part in this year’s Ozanam Come Dancing. I was really excited about the chance to learn something new while raising funds for the summer project too. I even managed (eventually) to rope my husband into being my dance partner. The summer project is such a worthwhile cause and we’re so delighted to be a part of it again.

After a lot of persuasion, my wife finally got me to agree to be her dance partner for this year’s Ozanam Come Dancing. It wouldn’t be my usual cup of tea but on hearing all about what Ozanam House do, especially the Summer Project, I couldn’t say no. Now that we’ve started rehearsals, I’m having fun and looking forward to the big night! Fingers crossed I don’t mess it up 🙂

We have entered the competition for a number of reasons.  McCann FitzGerald has a tradition of supporting Ozanam House through participating in Ozanam Come Dancing and we are very happy to carry on that tradition. 

Personally, we are delighted to be able to give our time and energy to such a worthwhile cause, and look forward to seeing first hand over the next couple of weeks some of the work that it does. 
We are assured by past participants (and Tony!) that the rehearsal and the competition is a huge amount of fun, so we are looking forward to that once we figure out our left feet from our right. 

We both believe it’s always a good thing to push yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit, and what could be more of a push than dancing a tango in public!
