You are here: Nominate a volunteer for the Ireland Involved Awards 2011
RTE’s Claire Byrne was joined by TV3 presenter Laura Woods, Ireland’s celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna and Dublin GAA star Philip McMahon at the launch of the 2011 Ireland Involved Awards proudly supported by Panadol, as they begin the search for remarkable, unsung heroes of our community.
Laura, Clodagh and Philip announced the names of the outstanding volunteers they have nominated for an Ireland Involved Awards from MS Ireland, Grow It Yourself Ireland, The GAA.
Shortly after being diagnosed with MS, Mark Mitchell joined the Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Bray Branch.

He uses a rollator to help him walk or a motorised wheelchair if long distances are involved. Mark is no longer able to talk and uses a lightwriter to speak for him. This small electronic device ‘speaks’ the words you type into it. Despite these challenges Mark is one of MS Ireland’s most active Branch Chairmen.
Laura is delighted to nominate Mark as he is an extremely positive person. He doesn’t dwell on what he cannot do but instead does all that he can – which is a great deal by anyone’s standard.
