24hours custom wristbands lovers

MUNSTER Rugby supporters will be encouraged to show their colors this Friday evening by purchasing a red wristband in aid of Mid West Spina.

One of Munster Rugby’s charity partners for the 2013/2014 season, Mid West Spina Bifida, will be selling red wrist bands, embossed with Munster Rocks at the RaboDirect PRO12 League Game against Connacht in Thomond Park.

Each band costs just €2 with all proceeds going to support vital services for the Mid West Spina Bifida.

Bands will be sold prior to, during, and after the match. Sellers can be identified by their red t-shirts with Munster Rocks! on the front.

“Munster has inspired our wheelchair rugby team, Thomond Park even sponsored our jerseys, and we are honoured to be chosen as one of Munster’s charities of the season and to be affiliated with both Munster Rugby and Thomond Park,” said Lynn Buffington, development director for Mid West Spina Bifida.

The Mid West Spina Bifida Association provides a multitude of services, free of charge, to over 100 families living with Spina Bifida and/or Hydrocephalus. Spina Bifida is a birth defect usually resulting in paralysis of the legs. Ireland has the highest rate of Spina Bifida in the world. The charity is playing a major role in the development of wheelchair sports, levelling the playing field to give everyone a sporting chance, regardless of their ability. Indeed, Spina Bifida’s wheelchair rugby team is aptly named MunStars

Enda Lynch, commercial and marketing manager said Munster Rugby are “thrilled to play their part in supporting such a great cause”.

Taylor Wimpey West Scotland donated high-visibility wristbands to children at Balmalloch Primary, St Patrick’s Primary and Kilsyth Primary to help keep them safe on their walk to school.

The donation was made as part of Walk to School Month, which runs throughout October and is designed to encourage children and parents to make walking to school part of their daily routine, encouraging a healthy lifestyle and minimising car journeys.

Taylor Wimpey West Scotland has given the schools over 400 fluorescent wristbands for children in primary 1-3 of each school to make them more visible to drivers on their journey each day.

Audrey Ross, sales and marketing director for Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, said: “Nowadays there is a real concern about the amount of time children spend outside being active and walking to school is an ideal way to help them get more exercise – but it’s important that they can be seen clearly by motorists.

“We hope our high-visibility wristbands will help keep the children safe during the darker winter months.”
