Thank you all for a priceless gift June 29, 2010
Posted by Jonathan Mitchell in : Good News , add a commentOn behalf of ‘Friends of Jonathan’ and the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary I would like to extend our whole-hearted gratitude. There are no words to express how important your contribution is and just how much it is appreciated.
Diane, Shelagh and Jonathan
Jonathan has Cystic Fibrosis, Osteoporosis, and Diabetes and has dedicated his life to his voluntary work with animals at the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary. Not only is he the proud owner of four rescue dogs, but also shoulders the responsibility of over twenty Sanctuary Residents through his devotion to helping the homeless. As the Long-Term Sponsorship Secretary Jonathan writes to sponsors individually with stories, photographs and updates from their beneficiary.
Jonathan’s condition left him unable to leave his home – his dependency on oxygen meant he could no longer travel outside the perimeter of his oxygen cylinder equipment. As such we, at the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary, are so grateful for your contribution which has allowed us to purchase a portable oxygen concentrator. Your help has been invaluable and for that we cannot thank you enough.
Jonathan and his mum Diane arrive in style
‘Friends of Jonathan’ had the privilege of holding a Fundraising Evening in The Ramble Inn on Friday the 25th of June; featuring live music (Billy Finlay ), a fabulous dj set with all Jonathan’s favourite tunes (T2 Disco), limousine rides (courtesy of AW Law Limousines
) and fantastic ballot prizes (thanks to friends and family, and the generosity of the public). Particular attention must go to our friends at Favour Pet Foods and , for going above and beyond the call of duty by supplying a delicious buffet for over twice the number in attendance as originally agreed. The cost more than doubled due to the level of interest in the event and, to this extent, we owe this business in Randalstown a huge plaudit.
The event was an inspirational success, yielding over two thousand pounds – leaving the final target within our grasp. We are honoured to thank all the contributors as they afforded Jonathan the opportunity to attend his function, only with the aid of the portable oxygen concentrator, and for that we are indebted to you all. Thank you for changing this young man’s life.

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the hard work of Jonathan Adams who donates his time and energy to caring for animals. We ask you to share your time and energy with him… Jonathan, who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis, Osteoporosis, and Diabetes, has dedicated his life to his voluntary work with animals at the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary. Not only is he the proud owner of four rescue dogs, but also shoulders the responsibility of over twenty Sanctuary Residents through his devotion to helping the homeless. As the Long-Term Sponsorship Secretary Jonathan writes to sponsors individually with stories, photographs and updates from their beneficiary.
At the present time Jonathan’s condition has left him unable to leave his home. His dependency on oxygen means he can no longer travel outside the perimeter of his oxygen cylinder equipment. As such we, at the Mid-Antrim Animal Sanctuary, are desperately trying to raise funds to purchase a portable oxygen compressor. If you can help in any way please do.
Friends of Jonathan are holding a night of music – acoustic and electronic – with a delicious buffet provided by our friends and sponsors at Clinivet (a local business based in Randalstown who have supported MAAS – residents and projects – with unyielding sincerity) along with outstanding prizes to be won in a fantastic raffle. As the generosity of the management and staff at The Ramble Inn has afforded us the wonderful opportunity to hold this fundraiser, we are confident of a magnificent night, one we trust will bring a miracle. We all take each breath for granted, please help by giving Jonathan this gift.
