Thanks to the organisers of the HARFEST Music Festival in Saintfield for choosing the RVH Liver Support Group as beneficiaries of their fundraising ceilidh in Second Saintfield Presbyterian Church hall on Saturday 24th October.

As well as raising funds for the Group and awareness of its work, the evening celebrated the achievements of Northern Ireland athletes in the recent World Transplant games in Argentina.  Kathryn Glover and Philip Cairnduff represented these athletes and sharedstories of how the gift of life has given them the energy and motivation they need to succeed as transplant athletes at the very highest level.

A very wide range of ages, rhythmical awareness and physical co-ordination took to the floor.  Music was provided by the Alastair Scott Ceilidh band.  It was a hugely enjoyable evening which brought in £360 for the work of the Group.
