Our loyal bag packers were joined by some new volunteers this year. Sincere thanks to all who give so generously of their time at this busy time of year. Also the generosity of Super Value customers. Super Value management are so supportive to our charity, which we appreciate.

Every year we also receive donations from family and friends, also from other families affected by marfan syndrome. These donations are appreciated. Every euro raised goes directly to marfan research.

Geraldine and Michael McGrath flew the flag again for marfan research. Thanks to all our generous sponsors.

We had a very successful week-end bag pack at Dunnes. Thanks to management, staff and customers.

Sr Philomena came to our aid once again this year. This busy lady is a busy prison chaplain who also volunteers at her local hospice. Thanks Philomena for all the funds you raise for marfan research.

Also your generous sponsors who give so willingly.
