With deadline for the 'Fiddles and Faeries' 5-minute, two dance tunes competition now passed and judges making their decision on the winner, I took an afternoon away from my computer and wandered with my collie, Siog, along the old railway tracks near Falcarragh, Donegal. And low and behold came to a bridge called 'Fiddlers Bridge.' Anyone out there know how it got its name?

Known scientifically as ‘the T60A mutation,’ it’s destroying lives throughout Donegal, and beyond. Thought to originate along a 15-mile stretch of coastline in the northwestern Irish county, it is associated with hATTR amyloidosis, colloquially called ‘Donegal Amy,’ a genetic condition that progressively debilitates its victims leading to a deteriorating quality of life and loss of function. It is often fatal.

❗That’s why part of the proceeds from the ’ New Year Eve fiddle-playing event will go towards helping victims of this terrible disease, along with other worthy charities in the region supporting people suffering from various life-threatening conditions, including diabetes, Alzheimer’s, cancer services, motor neurone disease, as well as su***de prevention and Lyme disease.
