Dear Friends and Family, |
|
| |
On Sunday June 13th, 2010, The Burren will host a fundraiser event for the Maunsell family, who have not one, but two family members struggling with life threatening diseases. |
|
| |
 |
|
Since birth, Hannah Maunsell, a beautiful 8 1/2 year old girl, has been fighting Cystic Fibrosis (a life threatening genetic disease affecting the respiratory and digestive system). Although she loves school, Hannah, who has a G-Tube to help her gain weight, must undergo a daily vigorous chest therapy regimen with a physical therapist and take over 60 pills to help digest food. The frequent doctor appointments, nebulizer treatments |
|
| |
and hospitalizations make it a struggle for Hannah to live a normal life. |
|
| |
Her father, Seamus Maunsell, a friend and valued employee of The Burren for 12 years, suffers from Parkinson's Disease (a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs motor skills, speech, and other functions). The progression of Seamus’ condition, prevents him from working full time.
|
|
| |
 |
|
| |
The fundraiser event will be a day to show community support for the Maunsells and also have fun! The day is for not only Seamus and Hannah, but the entire family including, Jen Maunsell (mum), Seamus jr. and Micheala, whose lives are also affected by these diseases. |
