Women's Mini Marathon 2012 - 10K (= 6.2 miles):
Over the years, many women have participated in the Women's Mini Marathon
on behalf of the Williams Syndrome Association of Ireland. The event has been an
important source of funds for us. We are hoping to make a big effort this year
to raise funds through participation in this event. We badly need to raise money
to cover the cost of this year's Music/Activity camp. We have not received any
National Lottery funding for the camp since 2006! Can
you or any of your friends help us this year?
This year's mini marathon will take place in Dublin on Monday, 4th June. Full
details can be found at www.florawomensminimarathon.ie.
Sponsorship cards and WSAI teeshirts will be supplied to any women
who can
take part in this event on behalf of the Williams Syndrome Association of
Ireland. Simply contact the WSAI.
If you are unable to take part yourself, you can still make a donation to the
WSAI by sponsoring Carmel Daly who will be participating in this year's event.

"Angels at our Table" - Williams Syndrome Stories
This book of WS family stories, incorporating the story of how the Williams
Syndrome Association of Ireland came into being, was launched in the Lucan Spa
Hotel during the 20th Anniversary Celebration Event on 20th October 2007. The
book includes 8 family stories and encapsulates what having a WS person in a
family really means. It details the sorrows and joys, the bad days and the good days, the triumphs and the failures that WS families deal with. It leaves the
reader with a sense that Williams Syndrome people are very special, loving,
caring individuals that give a great deal to their families and to the societies
they live in.
You can support the WSAI and its members by purchasing a copy of the book .
The book costs Eur 20 and copies are available from the Williams Syndrome
Association of Ireland. Please complete the Order Form

An updated version of this book is being prepared
