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.

The Migraine Association of Ireland has arranged a ‘Migraine Information’ seminar to which you and your parishioners are invited.

It will take place in the Clarion Hotel, Limerick City on the evening of Thursday the 9th of April from 7 – 9 pm.

I would be very grateful if you would display the attached poster and draw your parishioners’ attention to it by displaying it, announcing the information at Masses, or perhaps putting it in your parish newsletter.

There is no cost for this event and everyone is welcome, light refreshments will be served on arrival. Should anyone wish to attend call us on 01 894 1280 or email us at info@migraine.ie to register.

If you require any further information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Yours with thanks,​
