They raised €1,013.30 on the day and presented the cheque to Mary Shanahan and Joe Hennebery of Kerry Hospice on Tuesday at the Palliative Care Unit.
“It was a fantastic amount to raise from a coffee morning and we just want to thank the ladies for organising the event. Every donation counts,” said Joe.
