OK we are just back and still very tired and so it will take a little time to gather up all the information and details as to how a real collective of friends and family from Rio to Calfornia, to Barcelona and beyond all came together to make this happen... I will be forever grateful...
I have also had since returning from Russia 3 very helpful donations that have all being earmarked for specific uses and so grateful to have this support
MS Longford - €650 paid directly for MRIs in March
Granard Xmas Lights - €300
Granard Easter Festival - €300 both of which will go to any subsequent treatment required... thank you!!
This is just the beginning of my attempts to acknowledge what happened here...

OFFLINE DONATIONS: (financial and spiritual)
The Garland Family - €12,000
Mel & Marett Smith - €380 + all Marett's incredible work that led to a cheque for €5000
The extended Smith Family - Abbeylara/Mullahoran/Galway/US and beyond too many to recount! but special mentions to...
Sr Mary Smith - US$700 - always there doing what she could with incredible support
Kathleen Ginty and family, a Galway Coffee Morning through different avenues - €600 -
and worth more than money the advice, time and support of Fiona Ginty who from the outset made herself available for my constant questioning on the drugs, the protocols and everything I needed to be able to make decisions I was happy with!
Margaret and Mullahoran extended family - who were involved in so much from Walks to Craicfest Ticket sales and the unquantifiable but so valuable grapevine that brought in so many people from another area
Sheila Glynn and family who supported and contributed directly in different ways
Invaluable friends:
John Donoghue (RIP) - for the inspiration!!! I will always hold dear and the invaluable and generous advice and support while I was going through nothing like what you were.
Seamus Donoghue for those 2 World Cup tickets, I know it broke your heart to give up!
John V Donohoe Family - for all the support as always Sean for the trustee role, Dessie, Ray you were rocks in a difficult year
Dr Niall Donohoe - €200 - valuation pointless with the support I have enjoyed from the outset and I continue to receive
Just a few others of the many:
The Mottesiders Coffee Morning with Roseanne Garland €400
Ann & Eamon Fitzpatrick - €1000
TOUR DE FORCE via Dessie Donohoe - €1000
MS Longford - €500
Pat the Bakers - €200 Craicfest sponsorship

Anne Gaffney - €140
Maureen Smith €100
Granard Pharmacy - €50
Quinns Hardware Granard - €50
John Dungan Ceoltas Branch (Breege Campbell) Granard - €50
There are soooo many people to acknowledge across quite a few platforms! I believe I have contacted up to 800 people and with this website which has taken quite a bit of effort, I tried to frame everything that happened in this fundraising.
I will get around to seeing everyone face to face, when I stop going daft from DAFT.ie :(

You made it possible for me to see some of my favourite comedians Stephen, and be able to actually speak to them afterwards. Will be eternally grateful for being able to tell Kevin Bridges( after a big hug), that I could feel it my bones (or was that the fibromyalgia? lol), that he would be massive, before he was. Being able to have a quick confab with Marcus Brigstocke about politics was fab. To hang out with Steve Hughes whilst someone tried to sell him a leather jacket in La Via Lactea was quite a surreal night. To blether with/ be heckled by Danny Bhoy about Stirling was a hoot. To admire Craig Hill's faux leather kilt and and his big book of shite I don't need to know was totally brill! And not least, to be able to tell Eddie Izzard that I have loved him for nigh on half my life,made me very happy, (I was too shy to tell Richard Herring that too!) I'm well upset that I can't make it to Ancora tonight and send you all the biggest of abrazos, I know it will be a brillo pads night! Much love and positive thoughts Retta.xx
