Pictured presenting Maeve Hackett, from Monaghan Hospice with a cheque for €4,200 are Paul McGeown, and Sean McEntee, Pheonix Athletics. The money was raised as a result of the recent Blackwater 10k Walk and Run which was held in Rossmore Park on May 18. Maeve commented that she was “gobsmacked at the level of funding received.” She also added that the event has helped “raise significant awareness of the Hospice” and that it totally depends on people to get its message across. €8,400 was the total amount raised from the charity event and the other €4,200 was donated to the Monaghan branch of Marie Curie Cancer Care. © Darren McCarra.
