Event in aid of motorneuron sufferers

A GROUP of volunteers has come together to organise a golf classic week to raise funds to help those suffering with motor neuron disease.

The charity golf classic takes place at Dundrum House Hotel and Golf Resort in Co Tipperary from today until Friday and the organisers hope it will not only raise funds but also increase awareness of the Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association.

Proceeds will go directly towards helping those suffering with motor neuron disease, an incurable neurological condition that can make apparently everyday tasks such as walking, talking and even swallowing almost impossible. The aim is to raise €50,000.
