The IMNDA assists MND patients by supplying specialised equipment, financial assistance towards home care, counselling and visits by our specialist nurse. This invaluable support to sufferers and their families helps to ease the burden of this progressive condition. The Association relies heavily on fundraising events like this without which our work would simply not be possible.

CASA Breakhouses as a voluntary organisation provide respite services to people with disabilities in an atmosphere where each individual is valued and respected. We provide quality breaks for the person with a disability, thus providing respite for the family carer. We rely heavily on fundraising events such as this to ensure our Breakhouses are kept open throughout the year. CASA also provide a variety of social activities in our groups nationwide and we have two pilgrimages to Lourdes annually.
