Huge thanks to our Voluntary Board Member, David Beggy who gave a wonderful talk and presentation on haemochromatosis to the East Meath Active Retirement Ireland Group in Julianstown. We are aiming to involve many more Active Retirement Ireland Groups around Ireland in bringing awareness talks to groups in every county. If you are part of an Active Retirement Group in any county in Ireland, please let us know if you can speak to your group about haemochromatosis and help raise awareness. Email us at [email protected] if you would like to organise a presentation and talk for your local group.
Thank you also to Catherine Porter who organised and promoted the event to Active Retirement members and to everyone who attended the event and made a donation on the day.
Come along to our next patient information event in Sligo on Wednesday 8th May at 7.30pm in the Glasshouse Hotel, Sligo. All are welcome to attend this free in-person event. We look forward to seeing you all there. For more information email – [email protected]
