On Monday May 18th 2020, we lost one of our beloved residents after a long battle with Motor Neurone disease. Mick Flynn held a special place in the hearts of so many, touching the lives of all those who knew him, including the staff and residents of St. Anthony’s nursing home in Pallasgreen, Co. Limerick. His motivation and determination to face each day with such courage and positivity was truly inspiring. Mick always had a story, a friendly smile and a thumbs up for those he met on a daily basis. He had such love for his family and grandchildren, a strong passion for all things St. Michael’s A.F.C, birds (the feathered type) and the odd tipple or two. In the few short months that Mick resided in our home, we got to know him and love him as one of our own. Mick’s passing cast great sadness over the staff and residents of St. Anthony’s but his legacy will live on. Rest In Peace Mick. 

In tribute to Mick and with the kind permission of the Flynn family, our residents have taken on the challenge to walk a total of 30km over the month of June. All proceeds, no matter how small, will go directly to IMNDA to enable them to continue the amazing work they do for families and people living with Motor Neurone Disease in Ireland. Many thanks from us all here at St. Anthony’s.
