CANCER SUPPORT
Thank you all for attending or donating to the East Coast Radio coffee morning in Kavanaghs Pub last Friday. All proceeds raised at that coffee morning went to directly to Roundwood Cancer Support Centre. The amount raised so far is €4,005.00 euro. That’s an amazing amount of money and shows how generous and kind people are. Thank you all so much and rest assured your money is going to good use.
We are still looking for more drivers, if anyone feels they have the time to do this please contact us. Thanks again
