Fundraising
If you simply want to make a donation to The Trust please email sammcmahontrust [at] ireland.com. We are extremely grateful for all donations no matter how small. All donations to Sam’s Trust are managed by trustees. Their role is to make sure that the money is spent wisely.
In 2009 the Sam McMahon Trust raised $10,000 for FARA. With your help we hope to match this figure in 2010!
The Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) is a national, public, 501(c)(3), non-profit, tax-exempt organisation dedicated to curing Friedrech’s ataxia (FA) through research. FARA grants and activities provide support for basic and translational FA research, pharmaceutical/ biotech drug development, clinical trials, and scientific conferences. FARA also serves as a catalyst, between the public and scientific community, to create worldwide exchanges of information that drive medical advances. To make a donation to FARA-click here
