IMNDA ambassador Christy Lehane was delighted to accept a cheque for €500 plus an extra €10 (€510) donated by the families of children who were participating in the annual Class Feis which took place in Dromtarriff Community centre on Sunday he 24th May 2026.
Class Organiser Julie Nolan told me that that fundraising at this years class feis were going to the IMNDA in memory of her late father Pat who passed away from MND saying that Pat played a huge part in the class feis community. Because Pat contributed so much to these events and he was always involved behind the scenes, this years feis was dedicated to his memory.
Fundraising for MND allowed the Nolan family to remember Pat and all he brought to the local community, but also to to support an important cause that helps people and families affected by this terrible disease. Julie said that their class feis is all about a community coming together making it a perfect place to remember her dad Pat while raising much needed funding for the IMNDA in his name.
Nice to have met Pat's wife Phil and daughters Honor and Julie and also Louise who was of great assistance to me leading up to the event.
Many thanks to all who supported the IMNDA on the day.

Huge congrats to who won our first ever “Pat Nolan Memorial Cup Competition” at our class feis yesterday! And a massive well done to our runner up Miss Zhara Rahman from Scoil Uí Nuallain ❤️ We had 31 dancers take part in the step down the line and it was just fabulous to watch! Reflecting back on what was quite an emotional day, we were just so proud of the dancers and we look forward to having this competition at our class feis every year from now on 💚💛 A special thank you to our Mom who presented both cups to our winners 💞

Just a quick post this evening to thank all our dancing parents and their families who donated to this wonderful cause the at our class feis today. We are delighted to have raised €500 for the IMNDA and we know this will go towards helping families who were in a similar situation to us with our dear Dad a few years ago. Thank you so much to Christy from the Kerry Friends of Motor Neurone who called out to our feis today for us to present the cheque. Go raibh míle míle maith agat one and all from the bottom of our hearts 💚💛
