Different Yet The Same!
"On January 21st., 1996, at precisely 6:01 pm. EAMONN McGIRR
broke the world-record for non-stop singing. Millions of T.V. viewers
throughout the world witnessed this massive human endurance effort, which,
in fact, lasted for a total of 11 days, 20 minutes!"
The marathon was
dedicated to his daughter, Mareena, who has cerebral palsy, and is
confined to a wheel-chair. While singing continuously, Eamonn raised money
for the Center for the Disabled in Albany, Up-state New York. The C.P.
Telethon produced a record-breaking $1.3m on Sun., Jan. 21st., and Eamonn
was delighted to be a huge part of that success.
"DIFFERENT - YET THE SAME" sums up the message that Eamonn projected
across the world throughout the grueling marathon: "Look past the
wheelchair, look past the walker, look past the support: there is a child,
a human being - different, yet the same!" "He won't ask for your pity or
your sympathy - but surely you should care!"
Tragedy struck. On November 3rd 1996, within a year of the
marathon, Eamonn suffered a devastating accident. As a result he is now
quadrapalegic, paralyzed from the chest down and is himself now confined to a
wheelchair. A rather ironic twist of fate. Eamonn's doctors have strongly
indicated in many ways that, not only will he never be able to walk again, but
that he will never regain fine motor movements in his fingers. So Eamonn says,
"We'll see about that!!"
With much success in the music-charts back home in Ireland before
coming to the U.S. with his wife, Mary, and daughter, Mareena, Eamonn now
offers you his long-awaited recording. Please enjoy...
