Pierce Brosnan and former Bond girl Alison Doody launch Down Syndrome fundraiser

Irish actress Alison Doody, who starred as Jenny Flex in the 1985 Bond film "A View To A Kill", has just launched a national fundraiser in Ireland for Down Syndrome.

"HB Ice Cream Sunday" will take place this year on Sunday May 16th with all proceeds going to Down Syndrome Ireland. Alison was joined at an ice-cream party in Dublin by a number of children and their parents who all support Down Syndrome Ireland.

Now into it's second year, HB Ice Cream Sunday will involve thousands of families, their friends and school children eating ice cream at ice cream parties in Limerick and all over the country. Organising a party is simple, with HB providing the ice cream and party hosts collecting a suggested EUR2 for every serving of ice cream. Last year, over 2,000 parties were held around the country that collectively raised EUR300,000. To register as a host on HB Ice Cream Sunday, call 1890 37 37 37.

Once again, Pierce Brosnan, the Patron of Down Syndrome Ireland, is the 'voice' and 'face' of HB Ice Cream Sunday. All proceeds raised on Sunday May 16th will go towards the ongoing development of the National Resource Centre, which currently provides early intervention, counselling, education and employment services for people with Down syndrome.

Thanks to `mathewww` for the alert.
