The O’Shaughnessy family, from Kilnamanagh, Dublin, writes:

I know you may be sick of these videos by now, but while Motor Neurone Disease is in the spotlight, we’d really like to milk it for all it’s worth. In May, our Mam was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease. It’s a cruel illness that has devastating consequences.

This is our sexy #IceBucketChallange to help raise awareness. This is a cause and charity close to our family’s heart as we’ve experienced the care and wonderful work that the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association provides every day.

A print of the late actor Robin Williams created by Morgan. He has created 63 prints for €63 each, in aid of Aware

“I don’t know a lot about depression and what it does to a person, I know people who suffer from it, and it seems to be one of the most dangerous and understood diseases. I do know that it surrounds us, it doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from.

I also know that it has just taken a bright light from us in Robin Williams. The more I hear stories of how amazing this man was, the more I wanted to do something for him. This is the best way I know how. Put his smile on your wall and we will help aware.ie to help other people. Thanks in advance guys, and a huge thank you to the guys at plusprint.ie for helping out on this project….”
