Bardons fundraisers 'should feel proud'

The recent donation of €4,000 to Barretsown from customers, staff and supporters of Bardons will make a ’huge’ difference in the lives of the many courageous ill children and teens who go through the camp gates every year.

That was the sentiment expressed by Emma Conroy from the facility founded by the late Paul Newman, in a letter to the group in Bardons who raised the money in a recent event which has now become an annual one.

Saying that such help allows the children who go to Barretstown to leave there ’ready to take on the world’, Ms Conroy said the Bardons organisers and supporters should ’feel proud of the transformations’ they make possible.

“We are constantly amazed at the wonderful generosity of people like you who support the work we do,” she said.

In their turn, the organisers express their thanks to everybody in Kilcullen who supported the event.
