Story

In Memory of Oonagh Burns 💜

Last April, our beloved sister Oonagh Burns tragically passed away in a road traffic accident. Oonagh dedicated her life to caring for others as a nurse at Three Rivers Care Home in Omagh, where she looked after families' loved ones suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia with incredible compassion and kindness.

To honour Oonagh's memory and continue her legacy of helping others, my sister Teresa and myself will be taking on the Strabane Lifford Half Marathon on Sunday, May 18th, to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society — a cause that meant so much to Oonagh. Our goal is to raise £2,000 through our JustGiving page.

If you'd like to support us and help carry on the amazing work Oonagh did in life, any donation big or small would be greatly appreciated.

Oonagh's caring heart touched so many lives — together, we can continue her kindness in her memory.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
