Niamh's Boccia Fund

Donation protected
Niamh Dunphy has qualified to represent Ireland at the Boccia Contenental Cup in Barcelona in March 2015.

Unfortunately funding is not available for Niamh for the event so €1600 needs to be raised to cover all the expenses.


What Is Boccia?
Boccia was practiced for many years as a leisure activity until it was introduced at the New York 1984 Paralympic Games as a competitive sport.

 
It is practiced in more than 50 countries by those with cerebral palsy or related neurological conditions involving a wheelchair. 

The game consists of four rounds in individuals and pairs competitions and of six rounds in the team competition. It is played on a hard surface, and the goal is to throw the game balls so that they land as close as possible to a special target ball, which is called the “jack.”

 
At the London 2012 Games, 104 athletes competed in seven medal events.
