Aswell as walks taking place in Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Ballybofey, Mayo, Tipperary, Wexford, Meath, Tyrone, London and New York , Perth And the Gold Coast Australia. The support that everybody was willing to give was just incredible and it was a real tribute to the sort of person Mary Ellen was.
We’d especially like to thank all of Mary Ellen’s friends, Kayla Baskin, Charlene Breslin, Joanne Maloney, Nicole Sweeney, Regina Shovlin. They came up with this idea to remember Mary Ellen and those we have loved and lost. But most of all, we must thank you, the people who braved the weather that day and donated in any way at all. €33,215 far exceeded any expectations we had when beginning this and we are beyond grateful. We had planned to announce this much sooner, but because of your incredible and ongoing generosity, donations continued days and even weeks after the walk had taken place. So we decided today, Mary Ellen’s 28th birthday, would be a good time to post and thank you all.
The generosity shown is overwhelming and will go on to help so many people. Helping families like ours that have to use the Kevin Bells Repatriation Trust to bring home a loved one from overseas. To someone who needs help from the Downstands/Glenties counselling service to get through a challenging time in their lives.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and see you all next year 💙
