Lets Help Andrew’s Fight Against MND

Posted on by

In 2015 Andrew Brennan, who was just 31 years of age and a father to two little girls under the age of 2, was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.

Many of you may have seen or read his story recently; Andrew bravely fronted a very successful media campaign to raise awareness for MND/ALS. He worked with the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association to share his story on TV, radio and online. A huge €150,000 was raised nationally for the IMNDA.

Andrew, a lithographic web printer by trade for 15 years, was forced to retire due to the cruel nature of the disease; his wife Yvonne has given up work to care for him during his illness. There are many things that can assist patients with MND/ALS to hold on to their independence as they progress through their journey; mobility aids, car modifications, increasing care and support. Adaptations have already been made to Andrew’s home to assist with his changing needs – at a very substantial cost.

A gofundme page has been set up to help this brave young couple in their fight against MND. You can read Andrew’s story and make a donation by visiting https://www.gofundme.com/andrews-fight-against-mndals?ssid=835463028&pos=1  Also a Charity Afternoon Tea Event has been organised and will be held in Nobber Hall this Sunday (26th March) at 3pm. You can find more info on this event by visiting Andrew’s Fight Against MND facebook below
