RADIO Kerry presenter and Kerry Hospice Ambassador, Deirdre Walsh, launched the local Sunflowers Day appeal yesterday at the Palliative Care Unit at UHK.
Sunflower Days take place on June 9/10 and is a huge national fundraiser for so many Hospices. Last year the event raised over €40,000 locally.
This event is in its 33rd year and the fundraising never stops to help with the upkeep of both the IPU day unit and help with the Home Care services.

“This year we are also going to fund nurse prescribers,” said Andrea O’Donoghue of Kerry Hospice.
“The sad reality is the IPU has been at full capacity since it opened, so funds are needed. The support over the years has been immense from the public and nothing would be possible without them.”
