On Sunday October 1 2023, friends and supporters of two extraordinary charities will gather at Blackrock Tower in Salthill, and in other locations across Ireland, to remember two little girls and to support the important legacies created by their parents.

They say it is better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all. The day Aoibhe Carroll was born and placed in her parents' arms, they felt a love like they never knew existed. They had four wonderful years of love, hugs, happiness, and cherished memories before she was cruelly taken from them in April 2008. Now, 10 years on in a decade in which her parents established the ACT for Meningitis charity, we hear how losing her daughter has impacted on her mother's life, how she has gained the strength to live with this loss and how, in the face of such tragedy, she has built a legacy that is not only saving lives but is rebuilding the futures of others on that same horrific journey.

Renville Park in Oranmore will be buzzing with athletic activity on April 3 when ACT for Meningitis hosts the exciting annual sporting event "Remembering Aoibhe Renville Challenge” 2016.

A meningitis centre of excellence is to be built in the west as part of a five year plan by a locally based national charity.
