Every Sunday I read a blogpost ‘hospi-tales’ by Reinhard Schaler. It’s about life with his son Padraig. As a parent to a person with a disability it resonates & is often uplifting. #LastOneOnTheTrain tonight tells Padraig's story hospi-tales.com/2024/04/14/las… via Reinhard Schaler

Recording ep 4 #LastOneOnTheTrain with 13 year old Sophia was eye-opening! The focus of this one is Ireland’s public transport system (& features an actual train!) Don’t miss it. RTÉ Radio 1 Sun 7.30pm IWA The Struggle Is Wheel Reinhard Schaler Graham Merrigan Maryam Madani

The first 3 of a total of 8 incredibly inspiring stories by those attending the AnSaol Foundation National Centre for Life and Living with a severe Acquired Brain Injury #sABI are now there for all to see - Now, nobody will be able to say they didn't know. RTE Prime Time

Issues of accessibility are not something ’nice to have’, an optional extra.

#TeachAnSaol for #WeWouldRatherLive will change way society looks at severe Acquired Brain Injury & those living with it. It needs to happen now not in 10 years Róisín Shortall Paul McAuliffe TD Senator Mary Fitzpatrick Miriam O'Callaghan Drivetime RTE RTE Prime Time @odaywithClaire The Late Late Show

Supporting those who need support is not always profitable, there is often no return on investment. It also should not be done as a charity. Because it is our moral and ethical and (should be) our legal obligation. Well done Dr Tom Clonan keep up the good work. #WeWouldRatherLive

Contact the An Saol Foundation if you would like to join them online. There will also be at least one Irish-based orthopaedic consultant attending - and you won't have to spent a penny (or a cent)!

We are shocked to see this. We’ve never been blocked before and all we did was explain how we don’t like those benches pretending to be for wheelchair users when what they are really used for is to prevent homeless people from sleeping on them. We have never, ever been rude

Reminder about the last episode in the series airs this evening at 7.30pm #LastOneOnTheTrain

Please share with family, friends and neighbours. This Coffee morning has always been a highlight of Pádraig's year and we look forward to meeting you next Sunday!
