Fundraiser for stricken Kerry Family

Although, like any mother would, Tena worries.

“It scares me, you know. He told me he couldn’t feel his leg when he moves it from the clutch to the brake when he is driving. I hope he doesn’t have an accident,” said the concerned mother.

Tena and Jimmy spend every weekend of the summer in the Catskills in upstate New York, also known as the Irish Riviera. Through the years, the Maunsells have developed lifelong friendships with dozens of other Irish immigrants.

As a result, and knowing how difficult life has been for the three generations of Maunsells, friends of Jimmy and Tiny have organized a fundraiser to offset some of the costs associated with the medications and treatments for both Shamus and his daughter Hannah.

The National League winning New York football team of the 1960s, teammates of Jimmy Maunsell, as well as friends and colleagues, have come together to support and help the Maunsell family.

Some of the great footballers will be present the night of the fundraiser.

The fundraiser will take place on Sunday, October 18, at the Kerry Hall, 305 McLean Avenue, Yonkers from 3-10 p.m. Donations can be sent to Shamus Maunsell in care of Sonny Kenna, 18 Florence Avenue, Dobbs Ferry, New York 10522.
For information call Tom and Yvonne Furlong at 518-622-9896 or Sonny Kenna at 914-693-7233.
