St Nessan’s NS launches Read & Raise fundraiser for teacher Jill Farrell

St Nessan’s National School in County Limerick will hold a Read & Raise fundraiser for teacher Jill Farrell from 12 to 23 October.

Farrell, who has taught at the school since 2007, is living with motor neurone disease (MND). The progressive illness affects the nerves that control movement, creating daily challenges and placing emotional, physical and financial strain on her family.

The school’s Read & Raise event invites pupils, families and staff to read together, encourage one another and raise money. All proceeds will be given directly to Farrell and her family to provide practical and financial support.

Organisers hope the campaign will highlight the joy of reading while demonstrating the community’s care for a much‑loved teacher.
