Ava Battles, Chief Executive of MS Ireland, thanked everyone for becoming a friend of the MS Care Centre and spoke about the importance of the Centre for people with multiple sclerosis across Ireland.
The story that had the most impact on the day came from Bridget Jones, who shared her story of the life of a carer to someone with MS. This truly helps each person understand the emotions and challenges that are not only felt by her husband who has MS but also how her life has changed as a result.
Rory Egan from Limelight Training was our MC for the day and entertained us with tales full of humour; with Michael Kelly from PJ O’Dwyer Auctioneers at the helm made the auction a great success and with the help of Henry Shefflin handing out raffle prizes to our guests!
At the end of the day with a range of auction items going under the hammer and 11 fantastic raffle items given away; our supporters walked away with Katie Taylor's Boxing Gloves, a Leinster Jersey, vouchers for dinners out; nights away and lot more.
MS Ireland would sincerely like to thank those who attended the lunch. Without their support and good grace it would not have been such a resounding success.
This was the second year for this event and planning is to commence shortly for the third year of this campaign. See you in 2013...
