π A Huge Thank You to Paul McGauley π
We were delighted to welcome Paul McGauley to the Oncology Unit recently, where he presented an incredible cheque for β¬5,515 to NECRET β Northeast Cancer Research & Education Trust.
This fantastic amount was raised through the Annual Darts Day fundraiser held in memory of Paulβs sister, Ann Kearns (nΓ©e McGauley), at the Bellewstown Inn. Now taking place for the third year, the event continues to grow thanks to the amazing generosity and support of the local community.
Paul has also been instrumental in organising a recent head shave fundraiser as part of Movember, which raised a further β¬4,000 for NECRET. In total, Paulβs fundraising efforts have now raised an outstanding β¬17,115 in support of NECRETβs work supporting cancer patients and families.
A heartfelt thank you to:
π― Everyone who sponsored the event and donated raffle prizes
π― All the dart players who took part
π― Congratulations to Mark Clinton, winner of the final for the second time
π― The Bellewstown Inn owners and staff for their wonderful hospitality
π― And everyone who supported the fundraiser so generously once again
Your continued support makes a real difference to cancer patients and families attending the Oncology Unit at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda.
Thank you again to Paul and everyone involved for organising such a special event in Annβs memory. We look forward to seeing you all again next May.
