Friends
There are many, many friends of The Trust – we’d like to mention a few here.
Jean O’Brien
A ridiculously talented web designer who has helped us set this site up – without her, you wouldn’t be reading this now. You can find out more about her here. Thank you Jean.
King of Greystones
The annual fundraising triathlon that takes place each August made Sam’s Trust and FARA beneficiaries this year. We are extremely grateful to the committee for including Sam and to MenuPages.ie for sponsoring the event. Special mention is due to Shane McKenna and the rest of the committee who work tirelessly each year to raise funds for causes which include Aware, The Alzheimers Society and The Wicklow Hospice. Why not sign up for the 2010 event? You have lots of time to train!
Flora Women’s Mini Marathon
Three amazing women, Rita Archbold, Colette Clarke and Susan Egan took part in the 2009 Flora Women’s Mini Marathon on Bank Holiday Monday June 1st for Sam. This year Susan O’Halloran did the 2010 Mini Marathon for Sam. By competing in the biggest all-women’s event of its kind in the world, they raised money for Sam. Thanks and well done to each of you. We appreciate your kindness.
Thanks also to all of you who so generously sponsored the ladies. We don’t know who you are but we would like to salute you and recognise your generosity.
Larry Lawless and Declan Browne
On July 3rd 2009 two great guys, Larry Lawless and Declan Browne undertook the huge challenge of a cycle from Dublin to Rosslare. Although neither of them had cycled this distance before they covered over 115km in six hours and twenty minutes and raised valuable funds for the Sam McMahon Trust. Thanks guys. We think you’re great!
Patrick Walsh
Author Patrick Walsh has kindly donated his January 2010 royalty cheque to the Sam McMahon Trust. That was very thoughtful of you. Thanks Patrick!
Dell
The staff of Dell in Cherrywood, have spent the past few months fund raising for the Sam McMahon Trust. A number of events were organised and Sam was thrilled to be invited to a special presentation. Thanks to all who organised the events, donated money and continue to support the Sam McMahon Trust.
Coláiste Éanna
The staff of Coláiste Éanna have been involved in supporting the Sam McMahon Trust since Sam’s diagnosis in November ‘08. Your kindness, generosity and continued support is very much appreciated.
Ballyboden GAA and the Under 12 Hurling manager Andrew Coffey
This June (2010) Andrew organised and coordinated a raffle in aid of the Sam McMahon Trust. With a shirt signed by the Dublin team and 2 tickets to Westlife (donated anonymously!) the raffle was a great success. Thank you Andrew! Thanks also to all of those who bought tickets and supported the event.
