Horgan family thank people of Killarney for generosity
T
The Horgan family have expressed their gratitude to everyone who bought tickets for their raffle in aid of My Canine Companion. Shane and Deirdre organised the raffle when the charity provided them with Bosco, an autism service dog who has become great friends with their son Fionn, who is autistic, and Fionn’s older brother Brian.
“We would like to thank all the businesses/organisations who donated prizes for the raffle,” Shane said. “We are extremely grateful for the great support that we have received from the local community. We live in a beautiful part of the world but it’s the people of Killarney’s generosity and kindness that make this town so special. Bosco has made a big impact in our lives and the people of Killarney have also been very curious about Bosco.
“As a result of the article in the Killarney Advertiser, we were nominated to receive the the proceeds of the No Name Disco that was held at the end of May. We would like to thank Amanda Fleming who recently presented us with the cheque.
“We would also like to thank Pat Sheehan and Niall Dennehy who climbed the three highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in aid of My Canine Companion (see article below).
