Many thanks to the Flanagan family for all the work that went into this fundraiser. The kindness and support are hugely appreciated.

We are incredibly grateful to the Flanagan family for raising an amazing €9,100 in support of our Cancer Support Service.

This remarkable contribution will make a real and lasting difference to the individuals and families who turn to us during some of the most challenging times in their lives. Your kindness, dedication, and willingness to give your time and energy to support others is truly inspiring. Your compassion means more than words can express.

From everyone at Vita House, and from all those who will benefit from your kindness, thank yo so much.

A special thank you as well to Silke’s Hair Studio Castlerea for raising just over an incredible €1,000 in support of our Cancer Support Service. Your generosity and community spirit are deeply appreciated. Every euro raised helps us continue to support those who need us most.
