Marcus Moore Treatment Fund

28/6/2012

 
Picture
Over many years in Scoil Ursula we have had the good fortune to have Marian Moore as the Chairperson on our Board of Management. Unfortunately Marian's son Marcus has been suffering for many years with leukemia. A Fund has been set up in order to pay for  specialised treatment which is a Test Drug that is being tested by 48 hospitals world wide. The nearest one to Sligo is the Royal Free London under the care of Dr. Adelle Fielding, Consultant Haemotologist. It is an antibody and so far there is over 70% remission of over 17 months. Marcus does meet the criteria in that there must be over 10% blasts in the bone marrow and is a relapse.
A bank account has been set up at Ulster Bank. The sort code is: 98/62/60 ad the account number is:00131966. The account is called the Marcus Moore Treatment Fund if anybody wishes to make a donation.
A Golf Classic is being organised for Saturday,19th August by the Residents Association and booking can be made at Sligo Golf Club and Strandhill Golf Club via Patsy Gallagher and Martin Campion and John McHugh.  If anyone is interested please get in contact with the clubs involved. 

St John's GAA Club Carraroe have also organised an Adult Disco in Sligo Park Hotel on Saturday 14th July, 2012. Tickets are being printed this week and although we are unsure of the prices as yet we're sure it'll be widely supported for such a worthy cause. If you can at all please do spread the word with your own family and friends. 


We hope that you might be able to help out Marcus and his family in their fundraising efforts. The prayers and good wishes of the whole school community are with them all especially now.

Our Confirmation Class travelled to the International Eucharistic Congress last week. It was an enjoyable and uplifting event. We took part in a very special mass with hundreds of children from around Ireland and the world. We saw an exhibition about Army Chaplaincy and one about the Apostles journey with Jesus. We also visiting the beautiful Rosary Garden and prayed for our special intentions. Ms Caffrey also met one of her heroes, Dublin footballer, Ger Brennan (see picture), who took part in our Mass and shared his faith experience with us. It was a great day and we are thankful to our teachers, Ms Greavy & Ms Caffrey, for bringing us and to Goretti from Sligo Youth Ministry for being with us too.

For a number of weeks and months now members of the Music Generation Sligo team have been visiting Scoil Ursula and working with the children in music lessons. These lessons have been really fun interactive and a great learning experience for the children. The events taking place in Sligo on International Music Day 21st June involve many members of the Music Regeneration Sligo team. So maybe if you are around Johnston's Court on the day or listening to Ocean FM you'll catch some of  their fantastic music!
A big thank you to all who helped bring this wonderful experience to our school over the past while!
