Wednesday, 6th of April 2011: The Brendan Whelan Foundation has announced it will begin its 2011 fundraising campaign with a "Go-Karting" day in June. This event will be the first fundraiser organised by the foundation since its launch in 2006. Speaking today a spokesperson for the foundation said: "We have taken things very slowly, and this is because we wanted to ensure support from those who have taken an interest in the foundation. The foundation has come a long way and we have a lot planned for the future. We hope we receive good support for our fundraiser and are looking forward to announcing further fundraising plans". Foundation launches for Christmas 2010: Friday, 19th of November 2010: It has been four years and ten months since The Brendan Whelan Foundation officially launched, and finally today, Friday the 19th of November 2010 the foundation can move forward with its plans to fight depression and raise funds for awareness. Speaking today a spokesperson for the foundation said: "Obviously The Brendan Whelan Foundation is close to our hearts and we wanted to ensure we had carefully thought about how we would like to move the foundation forward. Almost five years of hard work can now finally see that happen, and we are very confident in the team we have placed to manage the foundation. Over the next coming weeks our website will become more active and our events calender will be announced. We are very excited and are looking forward to getting things moving. We expect all to be ready for Christmas 2010".
