Gerry McParland brings to our attention the plight of a local boy, Aidan McAvoy, who Gerry and his family are closely involved with and who is requiring life changing surgery in St Louis Childrens' Hospital, Missouri, USA at some considerable finacial cost. Further details of Aidan's struggle can be viewed here.
A number of fund raising events are going to be necessary to raise the £40 000 required. Gerry says "We are looking for any help whatsoever with prizes, or items for an auction or indeed any fundraising help that we can get with the events that are being organised. I am planning to run the Dublin Marathon in October for sponsorship".
Unfortunately, due to Summer holidays we were late in receiving details of the earlier events. However, there are more events scheduled as listed on the website http://www.aidansgoal.org/events.html. The next event is a Karaoke night on 6th August at Westburn Bar, Cambuslang. I am sure Gerry can get tickets so leave a comment on this blog such that Gerry can get back to you or contact Gerry directly if you have his details.
All help is greatly appreciated by Gerry.
Alan
