Fundraisers of the Year 2020

Introduced in 2019, the Fundraiser of the Year Award is to recognise a person or group of people who stood out as having achieved great things during that year.  In 2020 Tom and Una McMillan, along with friends, family and the Antrim Support Group, have raised huge sums of money during this incredibly challenging year alongside tirelessly campaigning to raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis.  Tom is leader of the Antrim Support Group and Una, who has PF, is heavily involved too.

Tom appreciated the recognition and said:

“There is no doubt in my mind that enormous credit belongs to the people that we work with here in Northern Ireland.  They are like family and best friends to us”.

During the year Tom has guided the fundraising team, offered insightful suggestions and recommendations and continues to make a real difference.  He goes on to say:

“It is a pleasure working with APF, you are all such caring people who have a real passion and drive.  Una and I feel we could not be working with and for better people”.

On behalf of the staff and trustees, thank you.
