Traveling down her own winding road, Helen Lavelle returned to the land of her ancestry in 2008 for the first time in twelve years. Dazzled still by Ireland’s beauty and thrilled for her homeland’s economic growth, the artist was saddened that her delicate and pure vision of Ireland was being chopped away by progress.
Disappearing were the humble houses with thatched roofs and snaking paths. Deserted were the bustling pubs and teetering town halls.
The meandering roads, however, like the bright faced and friendly people who call Ireland home continued to give Ms. Lavelle comfort in beauty and heritage.
And though the artist began her journey with a notion to write, she returned with a collection of photographs haunting in their splendor and their commonplace. A true daughter of the country, she felt that documentation of the roads would best preserve the authentic vision of Ireland she and so many others hold dear.
As her path crosses yours, Helen welcomes you to share in the beauty of her journey and invites you to enjoy the Roads of Ireland.

“CAME TO BELIEVE”
“Throughout history, the Irish have been known to take up a cause or two.”
On my journey, I have experienced suffering and witnessed miracles. I have cried in pain and persevered in recovery. I have known inspiration from close mentors and from distant strangers. Collectively, my experiences have led me to support four causes with a zealous passion that I am honored to share with you.
A hearty portion of proceeds from the Roads of Ireland collections will go to support these causes. As the art collector, you choose where you want your gift to go. And if you’d like, please make an additional donation to any of these worthy causes.
I share my story with you in hopes that you will share your support.

Because I know that treatment works, I support these successful and needed programs. And I ask you to do the same.

Clearbrook FoundationSince 1972, the renowned Clearbrook Treatment Centers have been providing effective treatment programs for adults and adolescents who suffer from alcoholism and/or chemical dependency. Clearbrook’s rehabilitation program is based upon the belief that alcoholism and chemical dependency is a primary disease and that the suffering addict and his or her family members deserve immediate help.

The Patricia Martin Scholarship“Irish women are known to have the answers to questions gone unasked.”Patricia Martin is one such candid and courageous woman. When I was a young lass trying to forge my way in a lad dominated advertising world, she grabbed me by the hand, and yanked me up in mentorship.

Multiple Sclerosis Research“Thank God I’m Irish because that’s how 2)1"/.'"5)+*7)%*);(+%@CThe oldest of ten feisty Lavelle children, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis as a young adult. Blinded and paralyzed on one half of my body, I have duked it out with this crippling illness every day for fourteen years. I have had ups. I have had downs. I have had brain surgery.
MS is a bizarre disease. All of the studies, and the research, and the MRIs tell me I should not be able to function as I do now. They tell me I should be declining, fully paralyzed, and disabled. But I never quit. My God, my family, my friends, my doctors, /'5)</%.&$&/)=/.%&')'"?".)1"%)8")D,&%@)E'5)2)3%/'5)+".")%*5/9)/3)/)8&./$1")&')5";/'$")*-)this disease.

The Sancta Maria Fund“I’m Irish. I believe in miracles. I have witnessed many and received more than my share.” And because of this, I give them away.
In the throes of my battle with MS, I, like hundreds of thousands before me, made a pilgrimage to Lourdes, France to beg for a miracle. While I was there, I saw a young boy in a wheel chair severely disabled. He used his mouth to operate a contraption to move the chair. He accepted no help, and he was angry.
When I saw him, I asked God to help him and not me, for he was clearly in more need. But when I came home, I was healed.
Suffering takes on many forms. It could be a debilitating illness, or it could be emotional, ;'/'$&/1)*.)"?"')30&.&%,/1)B/'6.,0%$9@)2%)$*,15)B")/'),'"F0"$%"5)/$$&5"'%)*.)%+")1*33)*-)a loved one. There are so many people truly in need of a miracle, so I believe we should give it to them.
