Collection and sponsored walk this weekend for Alzheimer Care Unit

Josie's on the march againToday, 8th June, there will be a collection in Kilcullen for Le Chéile Alzheimer Care Unit, St Vincent's Hospital, Athy, writes Mary Orford, and tomorrow, Sunday June 9th, Josie Connolly has organised a sponsored walk, leaving The Stray Inn (Markey's) at 3pm, arriving at O'Connell's at 4pm where light refreshments will be served.

There has long been a link between St Vincent's Hospital and Kilcullen and people have been generous to a fault each year for Josie's collection and sponsored walk.

Monies raised in Kilcullen in the past have helped towards the purchase of special equipment such as beds, an accessible bus and gardening polytunnels, all of which add to the quality of life of the residents.

Josie would be grateful for any support she receives this weekend — whether it's a donation to one of the collectors or joining in the sponsored walk.
