ME FUNDRAISER

Hi everyone, just giving you all an update on my Fundraising event on Saturday night. It turned out to be a fantastic event, in attendance were Dr Vance Spence and his wife Linda & Dr Neil Abbot. ( Vance is the one in the middle). Dr Vance Spence came the whole way from Dundee and he is an ME sufferer as well. He made a very infectious speech, which brought the 700 people who attended to complete silence. You never thought one man could do this, He did!!! saddened to hear about the lack of support for children and people like David and his family and pledged to help me access services to this terrible condition that has been overlooked for to long. NO MORE !!!!
Also in attendance was the Deputy Lord Mayor Bernie Kelly who also made a speech and was very saddened to hear about the lack of support for children and people like David and his family and pledged to help me access services to this terrible illness

Joan Mc Parland (in pink & black) ME sufferer and her mum and aunt travelled all the way from Bessbrook in Newry. Many Thanks I know how difficult that was for you, but I hope it has given you some hope like it has given me for my son David.

A special thank you to all my volunteers who helped on the night (get ready for next year lol).

A special thanks to my sister Jeanette who showed us all on the night what multi tasking was all about what was it you did (photo's,ballets and camcorder) I can never repay you. Your work was invaluable Thanks again!!

A big thank you to Micheal Persell, Bernard Tohill , Tony Ajir and last but not least the up and coming new local talent Andrea Hannaway ( I know how difficult that was for you to get up and sing in front of so many people) Well done, you should be proud of yourself!!!

Frances and Eoin O'Brien travelled all the
way from Dublin.
Really enjoyed your company and thank you
for giving me a little bit of hope!!



























Joan Mc Parland who has been a true friend
to me since last year.
Nice to meet you and  your mum May all the
way from Newry.

Well done to them for making such
a huge effort,
as both Owen and Joan have ME.

It was also very nice to meet up with some
old cyber friends,
in particular Ian Mc llroy who had expended
alot of time and energy
to research and provide some information
for me
with regards to my son David.

It was very much appreciated.

It was unfortunate that time was limited
and we did not get to catch up with the
others in the group.

However we did spend a lovely evening with
Frances and Eoin
who we had for dinner at the Devenish Arms
(not literally, i may add).


A special thank you to Vance
(you are a gentleman),
for making the effort to attend
the conference
and for taking the time
after the conference to
speak to me about my son David.

It was nice to get to know you
a little better and finally
get to meet you in person.

I look forward to seeing
you in October.!!!!
