Lillian McGovern, Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association CEO thanked Mayo GAA for their support stating they depend heavily on donations and fundraising efforts like this one. “We are a small organisation with 85% of our income coming from donations and fundraising. A huge thank you to all the players from the Mayo senior team and all the club players for agreeing to take part in this charity match. 

"It’s sure to be a crowd pleaser and I’m hopeful that there will be a great turnout from the local community."
