NEWTOWNARDS-BASED domiciliary care, nursing and recruitment agency, Peninsula Care Services, is sponsoring the Irish premiere of a charity production of Sunset Boulevard.
Boss Jonny Cook decided to sponsor the event, taking place in the Grand Opera House from October 7-10, after seeing the lead of the production, Mark McMullan, perform at the Spirit of Northern Ireland Awards earlier this year.
Mark touched the hearts of over one million viewers on You Tube after performing Bring him Home from Les Miserables to his brother Declan, who has locked in syndrome after suffering a cardiac arrest in 2012. He cannot eat, speak, move or see and is confined to a wheelchair.
He is fully cognitive, but cannot communicate. However, Mark’s singing brings comfort to Declan.
All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Declan McMullan’s Stuck for Words Campaign and benefit several charitable organisations throughout Northern Ireland.
