Mother and Daughter Duo Support MITRE

Newry based Mother and Daughter duo Eileen and Michaela Kernan raised over £700 for MITRE by running the Flora Women's Mini Marathon around Dublin City Centre in June 2005.

Eileen commented:

" This donation to MITRE is a token of our appreciation to the staff of Musgrave Park Hospital. The treatment and services my brother Aidan receives throughout his rehabilitation could not have been better. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, on both sides of the border, who supported Michaela and myself with their kind contributions."

Dr. Malcolm Crone, MITRE Secretary said,

"We wish to thank Eileen and her daughter for their contribution and fundraising effort. Every donation goes along way towards reaching our target and helps us with our aim of making Musgrave better for patients"
