Major Community Support.
27/10. Ronan Loughnane. The community of Templemore organised “Ramble with Ronan” to support our friend & neighbour Ronan ‘Lucy’ Loughnane and his family. Ronan has recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma Brain Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Ronan has given so much to our community over the years through his involvement in so many different organisations – JK Brackens GAA Club, Sr Aine Historical Society, Lakeside Pitch & Putt Club, Tuatha Corca Teine, his work as local correspondent with the Tipperary Star, Templemore Community Development Association to name but a few. His infectious energy, sense of place & community and local knowledge have been such an asset to our town & community and he has been the driving force behind so many different local projects always with the aim of improving and developing Templemore Town & community. It’s now our turn to give back to Ronan and help support him, his wife Annette & their young family as they face this difficult challenge. This event will also support Suir Haven Cancer Support Centre in Thurles, a service that has been very helpful to Ronan and his family. You are asked to please support the Loughnane Family by sponsoring one of the participants. Visit the support Web site, and make your contribution. https://ronansrambles.fundmajor.com/home
