I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who was involved in the 'Nearly New Sale' in the Parish Centre, Graiguecullen last weekend on October 10 and 11, as part of the fundraising for my Silicone Prosthetic Limb. ¤3,600 was raised and a lot of fun along the way.

Lots of people supported it and stayed and had tea and a chat. I want to thank everyone who worked so hard setting it up and then giving their time to selling as well. A huge thank you to everyone who donated clothing, books, bric a brac etc.It was a huge success and a great weekend.

I want to wish David Kidd and John Egan the best of luck in the Dublin City Marathon this coming weekend as they are fund raising for me at this event, I wish to thank all the people who have sponsored them so far and anyone who still wishes to do so.
