Parkinson’s Awareness Week

PARKINSON’S AWARENESS WEEK

Parkinson’s Awareness Week will run from 6th to 11th April, 2015 and as part of this the Mid-West Branch of the Parkinson’s Association will hold a Fundraising Coffee Morning at Bobby Byrne’s Wolfe Tone Bar, O’Connell Avenue, Limerick, on Thursday 9th April next from 10.00am to 12 noon. This is part of our continuous and ongoing efforts to raise much needed funding – we do not receive any State support.

There are approximately 450 people in the Mid -West who suffer with Parkinson’s disease. The Mid–West Branch is run by voluntary effort so all monies raised are used for the provision of services for patients. The services include information meetings addressed by Guest Speakers with specialist knowledge of Parkinson’s disease; Physical Therapy, Hydrotherapy and Speech Therapy through the medium of signing.

The support of the Public would be greatly appreciated on the 9th April at Bobby’s. All are welcome.
