800 expected at Motor Neuron Disease fundraiser in Carlow later

800 people are expected to pack out the Woodford Dolmen hotel in Carlow later to see a range of sporting heroes.

Legends is an event organised by local man Mark Attride, who together with local sports clubs set up the Friends of Irish Motor Neuron Disease Association.

They’ve arranged for the likes of Brian Cody, Sean O Brien, Willie Mullins, Jackie Tyrrell and others to be there tonight for a unique 3 hour event in Carlow to raise funds for motor neuron disease.

Paul Brennan is Secretary of the Friends of IMNDA and told KCLR the big names taking part are testament to the work Mark has put into this project.
