My Personal Message

Hello Everyone...

Message from a little pooch...

My name is 'Dougal', and I was a stray. The kind folks at Tallaght Garda Station rescued me from a busy road, and rehomed me with Elsie and Carolyn... It's a good life... I'm well fed, watered, walked and loved... What more could a pooch want...

Sadly, Elsie is not very well... She's in kidney failure, on dialysis and has Parkinson's Disease... Carolyn's her sole carer, and she gets fantastic help from Cathy, Natashia (Elsie's carer from the Carers Association.) and all the kind people at the Carers Association...

I've decided that I should do my bit and raise some money to help this very worthy cause... So on April 25th (Easter Monday) I'll be going walkies for carers... I'm doing the Carers Association's National Dog walk in Santry, Dublin...

I, Elsie, and particularly, Carolyn would very much appreciate it if you could sponsor me... Any amount, however small is a very big help, and would be very much appreciated... Last year, I raised the most money of all the participating pooches, and I'd really love to retain my title!!!... Competetive, me???... LOL!!!....

Thanks everyone....

Love... 'Dougal'.....

About my charity

The Carers Association

When it comes to being cared-for there’s no place like home.
At any stage of life ordinary people can be visited by circumstances that require them to care for a relative: usually their spouse, parent or child. For reasons ranging from old age and frailty, diagnosis of chronic illness, an accident, or living with a physical or developmental disability, over 161,000 people in Ireland give care at home every day to somebody they love.

These people are Family Carers and they contribute more than €2.5 billion a year to Ireland’s social economy.

The Carers Association’s vision is to achieve a better quality of life for Family Carers by providing practical support, advice and training and by advocating for rights and entitlements and lobbying for Family Carers’ contribution to Irish society to be appropriately recognised.
