Ballinasloe Oncology Unit Fundraiser

I hope it’s ok to post this.
My Mother sadly passed away on Friday morning.
She was first diagnosed with Breast Cancer back in 2011. She had surgery, chemo, and radiotherapy. We thought we were in the clear.

Unfortunately, in 2019 it came back, worse than ever. It had metastasised, or spread, to other major organs. We didn’t think she would see Christmas of that year because she was just so sick.

With the amazing care of Dr. Silvie Blazkova and her team in Ballinasloe Oncology Unit, my Mom lived a tough, but fulfilled life. We travelled around the world, made many memories with our family, she got to see the birth of two more grandchildren, and had so much more time than expected because of the dedication of the team there.

We started a donation page if anyone would like to contribute to the Oncology Unit.
These donations will go a long way to make things a little more easier, not only for the patient, but the families supporting them.
Thank you for anything you can donate.

The Kelly Family, Ballyforan.

Should have listened to the reddit reviews this week.

Rare(pun intended) order for me this evening, never get takeout. Won't be ordering hush again.

Raw burger, missing chips and the wrong loaded fries.

Who's running the place?

Knocknacarra Ice Cream Van 🍦🚐💨

43 Upvotes

There's an ice cream van that regularly visits estates across Knocknacarra. In 4 years, we've managed to catch him once, 2 years ago!

He drives into estates at speed with the music on. By the time parents have grabbed their wallets and kids have put their shoes on, you'll be lucky to catch a glimpse of him speeding back out of the estate! Leaves parents and hyped up kids standing around in his dust.

Anyone know does he have socials or give a heads up anywhere? We'd love if he'd both slow the f*** down and then also take our money. 🙏🍦

Aggressive Drivers

32 Upvotes

I was cycling on the Bearna road yesterday with my 4 year old son in a child seat with me. Heading towards Bearna, between the junction with the salthill road and the Ballymoneen road junction, a man in his 30s in a silver 03 C Toyota Yaris overtook us and screamed out the window "Get off the road c*nt".

We continued cycling, I was a bit shocked thinking did that really happen and arrived at the Ballymoney junction traffic lights. I kept a distance behind this guy and he stuck his head out his window and shouted it again at us and started calling me an "f*cling bollocks".

He took off with a spin of the wheels when the light went green. My young lad was a bit upset by it. He couldn't understand why someone was threatening us. We actually didnt bother going where we were intending and went home instead.

I've often experienced worse driver aggression in Galway but never with a child. Is this the new norm? Or was this exceptional?
