The Motor Neurone Association has benefitted by over €22,000 as a result of a series of fundraisers organised in Clare recently.

This was the third year of the fundraiser in Clare and the number of events organised has grown from year one when €5,000 was raised.

Support for the fundraising events has grown enormously with huge numbers volunteering this year.

On behalf of the Motor Neurone Association, Fidelma Rutledge recently accepted a cheque for the total raised from the volunteers led by John Kevin Considine who coordinated the various events in Clare

A ladies open team of three modified scramble was held at Ennis golf club on June 14 when Sinead Hegarty and Mary McMahon from Ennis and Carola Wixted from Dromoland emerged as winners from an entry of seventy five.

The men’s golf classic on June 19 was a huge success with fifty seven teams (228 players) taking part while seventy two businesses provided tee box sponsorship. The winners of this event were T.J. Scanlan, Lenny Coote, David Cassidy and Jim Doyle.

Alan Considine, Eoghan McMahon and Martin Madden volunteered for a beard shave which took place on June 17.

A flag day was held at ten locations across Ennis while collections were also held at Lahinch, Scariff, Kilrush and Shannon to mention some areas across the county.

Plans are already in motion for next year when it is planned to extend the flag day to more parishes in the county.
