Seamus Kelly heaped praise on the hard working committee members, sponsors and all who helped in any way in making the fundraising events and the presentation night such a success.
In a Facebook post St Vincent's Foundation praised the efforts of Ballingarry Friends of Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising - “Seamus Kelly, and an army of family, friends and supporters, organised a series of fundraisers in July and August to raise funds for the C.F. Unit in St. Vincent’s University Hospital. Together they raised €10,500 for this worthy cause. Over a number of years Seamus has raised nearly €29,000 for C.F. support in St Vincent’s as well as close to €100,000 for the wider C.F. care throughout Ireland. On behalf of our patients we are deeply indebted to Seamus and all involved in this superb endeavour. Thank you”
