The kind-hearted staff of Buncrana Medical Centre have raised €1,142 following a walking fundraiser for two local hospices.
Last month the team braved a day of wind and rain to walk 5k around Buncrana in support of the Donegal and Foyle hospices.
A total of €1,142 was raised from their efforts – which were proudly presented to each hospice recently.
Staff presented a cheque for €531 to community palliative care nurse Louise Duddy of Donegal Hospice. A further €611 was raised in online donations for Foyle Hospice.

“We would like to send a massive thank you to all our supporters,” said a spokesperson for the Buncrana Medical Centre team.
