IMNDA ambassador Christy Lehane was delighted to accept a cheque for €500 plus an extra €10 (€510) donated by the families of children who were participating in the annual Class Feis which took place in Dromtarriff Community centre on Sunday he 24th May 2026.
Class Organiser Julie Nolan told me that that fundraising at this years class feis were going to the IMNDA in memory of her late father Pat who passed away from MND saying that Pat played a huge part in the class feis community. Because Pat contributed so much to these events and he was always involved behind the scenes, this years feis was dedicated to his memory.
Fundraising for MND allowed the Nolan family to remember Pat and all he brought to the local community, but also to to support an important cause that helps people and families affected by this terrible disease. Julie said that their class feis is all about a community coming together making it a perfect place to remember her dad Pat while raising much needed funding for the IMNDA in his name.
Nice to have met Pat's wife Phil and daughters Honor and Julie and also Louise who was of great assistance to me leading up to the event.
Many thanks to all who supported the IMNDA on the day.
