CASTLEBLAYNEY Cancer Society is thanking everyone who has donated time and energy to those living with cancer and their families in the area.
“The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Castleblayney Area,” said a spokesperson from the Society. “The Society would like to thank all who supported or contributed in any way. This support enables us to continue to provide this much needed service. Castleblayney Cancer Society is a voluntary organization who has no administration costs. Any money donated goes directly for the purpose it was given.”
Donations are used to provide funding for many different types of support such as travel expenses to and from hospital for treatment, home help and home care assistance, night nursing and sessional nursing, and equipment not provided by the health board.
It also goes towards funding against hardship as a result of cancer and facilitating people to attend the Gary Kelly Support Centre in Drogheda.
If you feel that the Castleblayney Cancer Society can be of any assistance to you contact your family doctor, the Public Health Nurse or any committee member. All business is dealt with in strictest confidence.
Committee members include Chairperson Mairead McGuinness, Secretary Teresa McGuigan, Assistant Secretary Mary Connolly, Treasurer Ruth McCully, PRO Tracy Liddy O’Connor, and Committee members Maire Doherty, Tessie McGuinness, Ursula McGuigan, Suzanne Campbell, Deirdre McGinn, Mary Smyth, Tina Carragher, Bernie Ruddy, Dr Mary Flanagan, Lexie Oliver and Rose Funcheon.
