Last year, I featured a fundraising gig for Denise Ryan who has been suffering with “Lyme disease, pneumonia, Epstein-Barr virus, gastroparesis, chronic gastritis, candida, strep and clostridia infections, among other things” and is seeking funds to pay for urgent medical treatment in the US.
Ryan has raised €70,000 but needs €100,000 to get the treatment (her own video is below).
To help her get to that goal, Róisín O, Enemies, Ailbhe Reddy, Dermot Kennedy & Dublin Gospel Choir are playing a Denise Ryan fundraiser in the Button Factory next Thursday, June 30th.
Tickets are €14.50 from EventBrite.ie and if you can’t make it you can donate directly.
