Local couple thank community for support

DERRYTRESK couple, Claire and Aidan O’Hanlon (www.facebook.com/LeapForLuke), wish to thank most sincerely all those who have donated to their plight to raise money to fund research into the devastating condition Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) which has affected three generations of their family.

The couple said: “Our sincere gratitude goes out to all those who made donations on our Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/leapforluke, who made donations at the Mid Ulster Business Awards, who have organised fundraising events, and who are taking part in sporting events including the 2012 Dublin Marathon and the 2013 Belfast Marathon.

“You have not only helped us to raise close to £7,000 of our £20,000 target to date (we still have 10 months to go) but have helped us to cope with such a devastating diagnosis. We will be forever grateful for your support.”
