Mercy Fundraiser Cheque presentation

A MASSIVE  €23,000 was presented to Michael Sheridan, CEO mercy foundation and professor Seamus o Reilly,oncology dep Cork Mercy Hospital. Michael told how this great amount has allowed them to purchase 11 new recliners for St. Teresa chemotherapy ward,and also to update the chairs in the waiting area. All this is to improve patient care and make their stay a little more Comfortable. Prof O Reilly thanked all the people who helped to make this happen as it’s such a tough time for families and in his words “no family is untouched by this disease”. Kevin Curtin and Deborah Foley spoke some beautiful words on behalf of Youghal camogie club and Shannens father Ken Bulman spoke on behalf of both the Bulman and Joyce families. It’s a fantastic amount of money to raise and as a club and town, EVERYBODY who helped in any way,running,baked cakes, sponser money ,should be very proud of this achievement. In an ideal world, no body would ever have to face this long, hard journey but unfortunately,we don’t live in that world but we do live in one where,in times of crisis, the best comes out in people and they all pull together to help others,this is one of those moments. Thankyou.
