A CHEQUE for €18,231 was presented by Cllr Stephen Keary, former Mayor of Limerick, to the Mid Western Cancer Foundation following a very successful charity coffee morning.
Cllr Keary presented the check to foundation board director Gerry O’Doherty.
Reflecting on the sum raised, Cllr Keary, who himself is a survivor of bowel cancer, said he was “totally shocked, for this amount of money to be raised by holding a coffee morning in a small community, it is very humbling”.
Mr O’Doherty said the funding will go to good use and thanked those who gave so generously.
