Be in with the chance to win Peppa, the one year old Belgian Blue heifer and support Johnny’s girls.
A group of farmers have joined forces to support the family of 41-year-old Johnny McCowen, who was diagnosed with rare and aggressive Motor Neurone Disease in September 2021.
From Johnny;
‘Sherie, Darcy, Riley.
My wife and my two baby daughters are everything to me.
But now our world has crumbled. A diagnosis of ALS – an aggressive Motor Neurone Disease – is causing my body to shut down around me and it’s all happened in just nine months.
My name is Johnny – I’m asking for your help to buy a home for Sherie and our two girls where they can grow into the amazing people I won’t see, but I know they will be. If they have a home and a secure future, I can rest in peace, and I thank you for this.’
A cash alternative will be available to those without a herd number. The organisers hope to sell 1,000 tickets and, in the process, raise €25,000.
Other prizes include vouchers for Glanbia, Quinns, Solas Eco Garden Shop, a water trough from Midlands Vet Portarlington and a trailer of firewood.
All funds will go directly to the Fight for Johnny’s Girls main fundraiser. People can buy tickets – which are €25 – directly on the iDonate raffle page via this link.
