Richie Doyle Charity Night (in assoc. with the Irish Heart Foundation)

Hi Folks

Hopefully you lot can help me out with this.....

At present myself and Robbie Doyle (St. Patricks Athletic striker) are in the middle of organising a charity night on Wedensday 1st Feburary 2006, It is in assocation with the Irish Heart Foundation. I'm not sure if you are aware but, Richie Doyle, Robbie's brother and my cousin and lifetime best friend very suddenly passed away while playing football last April from S.A.D.S (Sudden Adult Death Syndrom) which was brought on by a heart condition. His story made the national newspapers at the time.

This is a heart breaking problem that more and more families are having to face up to on a much more regular basis in Ireland, one of the most infamous cases in Ireland of this was Armagh football captian, Conor McAnallen. An international case you might be fimilar with would be Marc Vivian Foe, the Cameroon international football who collasped on the pitch.

The idea of the night is to try raise awareness of this and to raise much needed funds to provide all local sports facilities with heart fibulators and to raise funds for a national screening centre. Something which could save many lives people in the months and years ahead.

The night will consist of live music, a massive raffle (prizes include LCD TV, American style fridge freezer, Washing Machine, Meal vouchers etc....) and a Sports Auction for the likes of Damien Duff's signed Chelsea Jersey, a signed Celtic Jersey, a signed Sunderland jersey, a signed Richard Dunne Man City Jersey, A Brian O'Driscoll Leinster Jersey, Signed Ireland Rubgy Jersey plus many more items.

If any of you lot fancy a great night out or wish to make a donation to this very worth cause you can either PM me or send me through an e-mail.

All the best and many thanks for taking time to read our e-mail.

Kind Regards

Anthony Rooney and Robbie Doyle

Fair play on a great night roo. Raised a phenominal amount of money and it was well deserved.
