Super achievement: Ballymahon Friends of Crumlin raise an amazing €120,000 in a decade

Ballymahon Friends of Crumlin made their annual trip to Dublin to hand over the money from this year’s fundraiser.

Paul and Marie Kelly accompanied by their grandchildren Cian, Senan and Grace, handed over a cheque for €1,000  to Ronald Mc Donald House. This is a home away from home for the families of very sick children and a vital service for any family whose child is in the hospital. The fundraising group is delighted to contribute to their running costs.
