The Oran Foundation was established in 2015 with the aim of fundraising for Oran and children with multiple and complex disabilities.  Oran was born in 2011 with multiple disabilities, complex medical needs and an uncertain future.  During difficulties and setbacks his will and spirit shine through.  He has exceeded expectations and has a smile and laugh that uplifts all those around him.  Oran has limitations but can continue to thrive and enjoy life with a little help from you. The primary aim of the charity is to raise funds to purchase a modified vehicle which will be adapted to enable Oran to be transported to his school and his many hospital appointments.  We also want to assist the many organisations and charities who support Oran such as Suzanne House, Laura Lynn, Jack and Jill and Child Vision. Marissa Lucchesi spoke to Clodagh Culligan about their first 5 mile road run fundraiser  in Stabannon on the 7th of June.

  On Thursday 2nd April 2015 the Dundalk Lion’s in association with Dundalk FM ran a coffee morning. We received 120 mobile phones and some people left in a donation. Thanks to the Home Bakery for the fantastic buns and cakes, we would also like to thank Marion and all the staff of the Community Offices, for keeping us supplied with coffee and tea. If you still would like to donate your old mobile phones to this great cause, you can leave them into Dundalk FM studio.
