Rally for Ruby Casey-Mulligan

the latest in a series of fundraisers for local girl Ruby Casey Mulligan will take place in the Lisdoo on the 17th of June.

Ruby has a rare auto inflammatory condition that requires constant immunosupression. It has been discovered that the medication that has been enabling her to go about her day as normal as possible has caused serious complications to her health and so she can’t continue this course of treatment. her family have been left with no choice but to take her to Newcastle for a stem cell transplant.

the transplant has been in discussion for a number of years and has been put off due to trying different combination of medicines.

In March, Ruby and her family were told to prepare to go to Newcastle for August but recently that decision has been put back but will go ahead soon. the purpose of the fundraising is to assist Ruby and her family with the sudden relocation and living expenses they are due to face as they will need to be in Newcastle for a number of months during and post transplant.

A group of friends and family members of Ruby are holding a race night on the 17th of June in the Lisdoo Bar and Restaurant in Dundalk. the organisers have appealed for anybody in a position to help to consider sponsoring a race for the event.

Race sponsorship will cost you €100. each sponsor will be featured on the fundraisers social media channels, and listed in the race night programme on the night. 100% of all proceeds will go to Ruby and her family.
