The event will be held in Strokers bar upper William Street Limerick Friday, February 24 from 9:30pm to 12.30am.

“My uncle used to be a resident up there years ago, he had a life-limiting disease and he was only meant to live until he was about 12 but with their great help he ended up living until he was 26. So it was very good.” Michelle said, “He died in 1994 so I went up to the charity and told them I’d do anything to help them out.”

Michelle has put together an event to raise funds for the amazing charity. The event will be held in Strokers bar upper William Street Limerick Friday, February 24 from 9:30pm to 12.30am. The night will be a fun get together and a space to catch up with friends with a DJ, live music and games.
