Bobby Messett’s family present €33.5k to NMH
A very special moment took place last Wednesday when members of the Messett family presented a cheque to the National Maternity Hospital. The family, with the help of a lot of people managed to raise €33.5K which has already been used to buy a new EEG machine and upgrade the older machines in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The Messett family raised this money in memory of the late Bobby Messett, who decided a few years back, when his granddaughter Poppie was receiving care in Holles St, that he would raise money for much needed equipment for the hospital. Sadly, Bobby was not able to do this himself before his life was so terribly and cruelly ended but his family made a commitment that his dream would come through and last Wednesday, in his memory, this massive amount of money was raised.
Special thanks to all who helped with raising this massive amount including Doran’s Pharmacy, Korfitness, Karl O’Rourke, Bobby’s many friends in Glencormac United FC and Bray
Wheelers Cycling Club, The Kilmacanogue Horse Show Committee, Mark Kinsella Funeral Services, Zurich Life, Christine Collard, Diane Flanagan and everyone else who sponsored and took part in the many fundraising events.
Finally, well done to Bobby’s partner Natalie Armstrong, Jackie and Demi Leigh Messett, Sister Paula and Bobby’s niece Hayley plus family Friend Laura Nolan, who undertook a massive walk of the Camino in Spain last year to raise so much.
