Clontibret Gold Rush for Leukaemia Presentation

A very successful night at the club where Kathryn Johnston from the Leukaemia Trust came to accept the proceeds of Clontibret Gold Rush on behalf of Prof Shaun McCann. The December 28th Run raised €21,660 and ran parallel with two other fundraisers, one initiated by Mary Duffy which raised over €3,500 and another by Hannah McSkeane which took in €1,700. All in all the Clontibret area contributed almost €27,000 to the provision of support units to Leukaemia patients and parents’ accommodation needs, close to the hospital facilities and that is something to be proud of (Full report elsewhere)
