ULSTER GAA TEAMS 2008
support Children with Cerebral Palsy
at the Buddy Bear School, Dungannon

We wish all the Ulster GAA Teams, Captains, Managers, Trainers and Support Staff every success in the All Ireland GAA Football Tournament.

While there can only be one winner of Sam all twill have spent years of dedicated hard work, training and practice to achieve success.

All involved will be part of the GAA legends.

Zara and the children at the Buddy Bear School have to work as hard as any champion footballer to do even some of the things we take for granted.

Daniel attened the Buddy Bear School in Dungannon for 14 years. Daniel travelled from Newry each day to be taught using Conductive Education.

There was no overnight success story but hard work, determination, family support and expert guidance from his Principal.

We need your support to help keep the school open until we can convince Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness to implement the resolution of the Assembly of 19 February 2008 to support Conductive Education.
