A Glenullin man suffering from cancer has helped raise money for others experiencing ill health.

 

Seamus Mullan has raised over £2,000 to help benefit others receiving medical attention.

 

Seamus recently managed to organise fundraising events in Glenullin which proved to be a huge success.

 

The local man said: “I organised a night recently at Glenullin GAA club, where one of the nurses from Rapid Response and a friend provided the music as ‘Fresh Duo’.

 

“It was a very good night and we managed to raise a lot of money by the local community offering voluntary subscriptions at the door.  It was excellent to see the amount of people in the club contributing to this worthy cause.”

 

Seamus gave £500 to the Sperrin Room at Altnagelvin Hospital and £500 to the Cancer Unit in the City Hospital which he helped to fundraise.

 

He also raised a whopping £1,255 for Rapid Response nurses who have been treating Seamus for the past few years.

 

The kind-hearted man expressed his gratitude to the nurses and the people of Glenullin.

 

“The nurses have been treating me and trying to get me back to life again and I wanted to give something back to the girls. I am very grateful for the support we received on the night.”

 

Rapid Response nurse Carmel McCaugharn was delighted with the amount of money that was raised.

 

 “We would like to say thanks to the people of Glenullin for their hospitality.

 “We don’t know how to spend the money yet, but it will be spent well on something that is going to benefit patient care.”
