Give generously for Cuban Medical Aid

With less then 2 weeks to go before they begin their mammoth trek of Cuba's highest mountain range, the Sierra Maestra, Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin activists Barry McColgan and Marie Claire Devlin are doing a final big appeal for sponsorship.

The committed pair have been very successful in their fundraising drive for Cuban Medical Aid, but are keen to add to the impressive amount raised to date.

Encouraging people to sponsor the trek, Barry McColgan said,

"There has always been a strong bond of friendship and solidarity between the Cuban and Irish people. The upcoming sponsored trek for Cuban medical aid will further cement those strong ties, and greatly enhance the lives and well being of ordinary Cuban people."

"While Cuba has an excellent universal health service, they lack essential medicines and medical supplies because of the US embargo and our trip is aimed at both breaking this blockade through providing these supplies and also building public pressure on the US to end it. To this end we would encourage you to generously donate to our efforts. All contributions are greatly appreciated."
