And he will be joined by by former hurling stars Joe Quaid, TJ Ryan, Mike Nash and Gary Kirby and many others.
It is all part of a fundraising legends game against Tipperary for the Alzheimer Society to be played on September 7 at Éire Óg grounds in Nenagh at 5pm. The event will be sponsored by Bluebird Care, which provides Q-Mark approved homecare services to people of all ages across Ireland.
It was launched by two leading dementia advocates, Kevin Quaid and Kathy Ryan, who both have a dementia diagnosis, Over a cup of tea, they discussed ways to give something back to The ASI after everything the charity had done for them.
Hence, the inaugural ‘Kevin Quaid and Kathy Ryan Legends Cup’ was created which will bring Tipperary and Limerick hurling legends of yesteryear together to duke it out in Nenagh.
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland Head of Fundraising, Mairéad Dillon said: “We are delighted that Bluebird Care has decided to come on board to sponsor our Hurling Legends Match.
