Story

On Friday April 3rd my mum Jean Dey passed away at Our Lady's Hospice in Harold's Cross. The care the staff showed to her in the few days she was in the hospice was incredible, especially given the current situation with the virus and the great personal risk they take every time they go to work. I can't thank them enough. The virus is affecting their usual fundraising streams; organised events like marathons etc. can't go ahead so this is really having an impact on them financially. So I'd like to help them out by putting on my own little event... 500 laps round my parents' back garden!

Please donate if you can, I, the hospice and my family would deeply appreciate it.
