Tony returned home to Ballymacegan last week to continue his recovery after making great strides over the past month, which saw him leave hospital earlier than anticipated. However, a period of rehab remains with funds raised from this event going towards this.
Envelopes have been delivered to each house in the parish whereby people can donate any amount they wish to the fund and deliver the envelopes to collection points throughout the parish (including Louis McCormack’s). Tickets are also available, priced at €10 and are available throughout the parish. Anyone who donates to the fund in any way is invited to the Benefit Night on St Stephen’s Night.
Your support will be greatly appreciated.
