Celine's Cancer Quest

Donation protected




Join us for an unforgettable night with JACK L, MEGAN O NEILL & THE DUBLIN GOSPEL CHOIR for an auction in aid of CELINE'S CANCER QUEST on FRIDAY 13TH OCTOBER in Lawlor's Hotel




Thanks to the generosity of Lawlor's Hotel and several kind benefactors,
Celine's Cancer Quest Concert and Auction takes place at Lawlor's Hotel Ballroom in Naas on Friday 13th October at 8pm.


No sooner than Celine Garvey, Manager of The Moat Theatre in Naas, Co. Kildare, went public with the news of her cancer diagnosis, offers of help rolled in from all over Ireland and abroad.  Various visual and performing artists who have exhibited or performed at The Moat Theatre under Celine's management came forward with offers of support.
 






Work by Kildare artists such as Ann McKenna and Pamela de Brí, framed by Niamh Harney at Inniscara Bespoke Framing were generously donated.

Josephine Hardiman and members of Harlequin Art Hub also offered pieces for auction. Local businesses have kindly donated items such as vouchers, hampers, and even a steel garden shed for auction on the night.

 





Some of Ireland's best loved performers, Dublin Gospel Choir, Megan O'Neill and Jack Lukeman all came forward to offer their services. Meanwhile, Lawlor's Hotel in Naas contacted Kathleen Smith and kindly offered their beautiful ballroom for any event that the theatre wished to hold there.
 





Lawlor's Hotel Ballroom is a beautiful setting to bring all of these extremely kind offers together in one exciting and celebratory event, raising funds for Celine's ongoing treatment and support.

Individual tickets cost €15 or you may get together with some friends and book at table for 8 people at just €100. Items donated will be auctioned on the night.

The Moat Writers group was the brainchild of Celine Garvey. 



They are a community based creative writing group established in 2019. A diverse group who hail from all parts of Ireland and beyond but are all now living and writing in County Kildare. The group, initially founded by author and writer , Helen O' Leary is now a family of like minded, welcoming, enthusiastic, creative and encouraging people. They collaborate with other local groups, writers, actors and contribute their poetry and reflections regularly to KFM radio, Kildare. 



Currently, they are launching a book of short stories, written by Helen O'Leary to support Celine's Cancer Quest. While Helen wrote the stories it is truly a collective project with each member contributing to the launch in their own unique way. "The Hope Chest" will be officially launched on Sunday the 21st of May at 3pm with music and refreshments served.
This unique launch is open to all the people of Naas to attend. It will be light-hearted and fun and the weather promised to be good!
Hey, they might even do the Conga down Abbey Street!

Open to all!
This SUNDAY AT 3PM
No admission 
But if you fancy a book its €10 

As for me.....
May 18th 2023 

Ive been exhausted yet super motivated to move. The steriods have given me a moon face & I was published! Yes little old me!!!!


Honestly the tiredness is the hardest. I am lucky as I havnt gotten sick, yet, but my child did! Vomiting bug in the house. Even stricter hand sanitising going on. My skin is so thin from sanitising I can feel the letters on my flat screen phone! 

Here's to the vomiting bug being gone. We are sick of it. As for sleep, it's hard to sleep cos that's when the doom can set it

But let's see what happens as I head to leaba land xxx
