Beloved Kilkenny IWA member John Grace marks his 40th birthday

The Kilkenny branch of the Irish Wheelchair Association was in fine form over the weekend as members gathered at Claddagh Court to celebrate a very special milestone, the 40th birthday of long-standing member John Grace.

“Join us in wishing a happy 40th birthday to long-standing Kilkenny IWA member, John Grace,” the organisation shared in a post marking the occasion.

John, who has been an active member of the IWA community for years, had one simple wish for his big day - to celebrate surrounded by his friends at IWA.

As the photos above show, he got exactly that, with a room full of smiles, chat, and laughter.

The celebration was made even more memorable thanks to Koli, one of the IWA’s staff members, who stepped out from his usual role to don his chef’s hat for the day.

“A massive shout to Koli, one of the IWA staff members, pictured in one of the photos with John, who is also a very talented chef and did the catering to give John a party to remember.

“Congratulations John. Here’s wishing you a year to remember from all in IWA.”
