Thank you to ScoIl cHROÍ nAOFA - ATHENRY
A huge thank you to Scoil Chroí Naofa of Athenry who hosted a wondering fund raising and awareness raising day on behalf of Narcolepsy Ireland.
One of the 5th class students at Scoil Chroí Naofa developed Narcolepsy when she was 5 years old and in Junior Infants. Scoil Chroí Naofa have been wonderfully supportive since the development of symptoms and have provided an environment where all their students have an opportunity to thrive and reach their potential.
This event centered on educating all students on the impacts and symptoms of narcolepsy and in particular giving the 5th class group an opportunity to become ambassadors on behalf of those who suffer with narcolepsy.
The students of 5th class hosted discos and a pyjama day of fun for all their students. There was a raffle to raise funds for Narcolepsy Ireland - strongly supported by the community of Athenry.
Education, awareness and support is the key difference for many of people who suffer with narcolepsy and can shape the opportunities available to them in their future. Scoil Chroí Naofa’s approach is extremely powerful in awareness raising and education. We are sure each student will remember this wonderful day for years to come.
A big thank you from Narcolepsy Ireland.
