A Cork transition year student has raised over €40,000 for Marymount Hospice at a charity coffee morning this week.
Rebecca Whelan was inspired to fundraise for the Hospice, having seen first-hand the loving care her grandfather received at Marymount shortly before he passed away.
The Scoil Mhuire student approached Sabrina Hill of Kopper Hair Salon to host the coffee morning in the city centre, with an open invitation for all to attend the event.
Speakers on the day included Cork Circuit Court Judge Sinead Behan, Dr. Karie Dennehy, Palliative Medicine Consultant at Marymount Hospice and former Microsoft senior executive Lizzy Dillon.
