Lorrha fundraiser for North Tipp Parkinsons

A fundraising event will take place in Lorrha Community Hall in aid of North Tipperary Parkinson’s, on Saturday, November 21, at 8pm.

The first of its kind in the parish, the event is aimed at supporting local people and families living with Parkinson’s disease and is also aimed at giving back to this organisation who carry out such wonderful work. Even more important too, the event aims in making people aware and helping them to understand, what this disease is all about. The event will feature a one-act comedy 'Are you right folks please' by Simon Cunningham and directed by the evergreen Phil Quigley from Borrisokane. The event will also feature music by local musician’s with special guest the talented Pascal Kennedy.

The event will also include a raffle with some truly wonderful prizes already contributed by several private and members of the business community. The organiser of the event is local man Timmy Reddan who was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease three years ago and Timmy took the opportunity to thank all those providing prizes, those participating and everyone who is involved in getting the show on the road in whatever way.

There will be an admission charge of €15 with all proceeds going to the North Tipperary branch of Parkinsons Disease.

The North Tipperary/Nenagh Support Group of Parkinson’s features local meetings and respite supports for patients, families, and carers in Nenagh and surrounding North Tipperary areas. They depend on the majority of their income from fundraising like this one run by Timmy. They facilitate much-needed breaks for carers, as well as counselling sessions for those diagnosed with the disease and their loved ones. This will be a great night and certainly not one to be missed and it’s for a great cause. For further information contact Timmy Reddan on 087 2967294.
