KERRY Hospice Foundation received over €12,000 from two separate fundraisers on Tuesday afternoon.
Donal Prendergast from Killorglin was at the Palliative Care Unit with his family to present a cheque for €2,725 to the Kerry Hospice Foundation.
Donal decided to do a head and beard shave and chest and back wax on July 31 to give something back after his father Dan received great care at the Palliative Care Unit prior to his passing in January 2019.

Donal had his head and beard shaved for free at James Barber Shop in Killorglin but had the waxing done at his house. “I had plenty volunteers to inflict pain there!” joked Donal.
Meanwhile, Michelle Greaney and Andrea O’Donoghue also presented a cheque for an incredible €9,300 to the Kerry Hospice after their Kerry Hospice Sunflower Day Virtual Run/Walk fundraiser held during the June Bank Holiday weekend.

“There’s always such great support for the Kerry Hospice,” said Michelle Greaney. “It was win-win situation all around with people getting exercise and it was great for mental health. There was loads of families taking part and we also had donations from people taking part in Dublin, Limerick and Cork. Thanks to everyone for taking part.”
