<h3>Fresh from their set dancer&#8217;s being crowned All-Ireland champions in the Gleneagle INEC on Sunday it&#8217;s now the turn of Spa&#8217;s GAA Healthy Clubs Officer, Margaret Doyle.</h3>
&#8216;Drink Tea For MND&#8217; was launched in the John Kelly room at Spa GAA Club on Monday alongside Kerry Friends of Motor Neurone branch chairman Christy Lehane.
This event will be held in Spa on the morning of Saturday May 14 from 10am to 12 noon and will include a raffle also. It is also hoped to set up a link where people can donate online if you are unable to attend on the day.
Kerry Friends of Motor Neurone was set up in Lissivigeen in 2011. Motor Neurone is an extremely debilitating disease with a life expectancy of three to five years and depends totally on fundraisers to support the care and meet the needs of people suffering with this disease. It has claimed the lives of many local people in our area and has also been highlighted at national level more recently by former RTE journalist and reporter Charlie Bird who is currently battling with this incurable disease.
Margaret felt it was time that Spa GAA Club and the wider community supported Kerry Friends of Motor Neurone as that&#8217;s what inclusion is about.
&#8220;It was hoped to hold this event in 2020 but due to the COVID pandemic, it was put on hold,&#8221; Margaret said.
&#8220;So on May 14 &#8216;Drink Tea For MND&#8217; and if tea is not your thing sip a coffee. Home baking is also welcome on the day.&#8221;
Any enquiries can be made to Margaret on 087 9181970.
