Meet the Toner's from Co. Donegal who attended Barretstown family camp thanks to your fantastic support and the many Big Picnics held over the last two years.

Their beautiful little girl Emer endured a twelve month gruelling battle with cancer and in their own words ‘we came to Barretstown and suddenly that was all left behind us. No tension. No worries about Emer’s treatment. You can laugh and joke and have a bit of craic. Everything’s fine because you know Barretstown has it all under control’ ‘Suddenly the four of us could be a normal family again, and do all the normal things that everyone else does. It was exactly the lift and the tonic we all needed, and it really set us up to get on with living life again.”

The Toner's held their own Avonmore Big Picnic for Barretstown this year raising over €1,600. To hear more about the Toner's story click on the video here.
