Ballysloe Tidy Towns committee held their annual walk recently. Proceeds from this year's walk went to Glengoole girl Mandy Holohan who was recently diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS is a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system). A total of €2,000 was raised.
The annual walk is held to fundraise for local people and families who are dealing with long term illness.
So far the committee have raised €2,000 for Motor Neurone Disease, €800 for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and €800 for Scoil Aonghusa Special School in Cashel.
Ballysloe Tidy Towns are in the process of developing a sensory garden for people with Autism and special needs.
The garden will have wheelchair access, picnic area, play area, water feature and a wildflower area among other things.
The committee are currently trying to raise funds for this project and would welcome any donations for this project.
Please see their Facebook page - Ballysloe Community Development Group - for further details or speak to their Treasurer Trisha Purcell on 0568834385.
