Reminder of kidney event

The Punchestown Kidney Research Fund has appealed for people in Kilcullen to support their sponsored volunteers taking part in the 2007 Women's Mini Marathon.

The event takes place on 4 June and more than 60 people from the locality are running or walking under the PKRF banner.

Meantime, Phena Bermingham has confirmed that an information meeting about kidney dialysis and treatments will take place in Kilcullen Parish Centre on 15 May.

Darren Cawley from Mayo, who has been on dialysis for eight years, will attend. He was the first person to use the holiday home in Tralee which is sponsored by the PKRA for use by dialysis patients.

A DVD of David's time in the holiday home will be shown and James Nolan will present an information pack to everyone. Anyone interested in learning more about kidey related problems is very welcome. Further information from Phena at 485232 or 087-9767531; Lorraine at 085 7604806; Emma at 087 6965271; or James at Nolans Butchers.
