Errigal Newsletter 2021

SUPPORTING THE ATAXIA FOUNDATION IRELAND Friedreichs Ataxia is a genetic and progressive disorder of the central nervous system which usually manifests itself in children between the ages of six and sixteen years. Errigal have been supporting the Ataxia Foundation Ireland for several years. In 2018 the main charity event was a gala for Ataxia and we raised an amazing £70,000.

This year Mark Cokes is taking on the challenge of swimming the English Channel in an effort to raise money and raise awareness for ATAXIA. Errigal will be supporting him on his journey, hosting a number of events throughout the year culminating in a Gala in September where we hope to exceed the money raised in 2018.
