Bowlers will roll off on Friday, June 16, to raise money for the Hope for Harry fun bowls day.
Greg Conolly of the Bowls Club said the event – which comprises teams of four with a maximum of one experienced bowler a team – has been arranged to raise funds in support of little Harry O’ Mullane who, at just four years old, was diagnosed with leukaemia.
For details contact Greg at 082 924 7788.
He is the grandson of Peter and Margie Johnson, who farm along Sunset Road; and the son of the Johnson’s daughter, Sara-Faye, and John O’ Mullane of the Eastern Cape.
In late September 2021, he was rushed to Hilton Life Hospital, from Maclear, in excruciating pain. Within a day, he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL). Harry’s parents, John and Sarah-Faye, have been brave enough to share Harry’s story while journeying this difficult road in an attempt to ‘pay-it-forward’ by creating more awareness of the huge shortage of blood and bone marrow donors in our country.
The monthly Kraainess Market Day in Glencoe, to be held on May 27 from 09:00, will contribute to Harry’s fund-raising, with all gate fees and donations going towards this worthy cause.
This is not the only fundraiser for Harry.
On July 29, the ‘Hope for Harry’ family fun walk and run will be held in Glencoe, with the start (08:00) and finish at Kraainess.
R20 gets you a place in the 2km event and R50 in the 6km route. Lots of prizes can be won.
For details of both events, please contact the following numbers: 034 393 1183, 064 531 5347, and 061 511 8625. Funds raised will go towards Harry’s medical expenses and every donation will be greatly appreciated by the family.
