 Dear Helen,Teachers & Students,
On behalf of the Specialist Palliative Care Team I would like to acknowledge receipt of your very kind donation of €650.00 to our Fund, raised at your recent cake sale in memory of Father Dan Sheridan. We in Cavan/Monaghan Palliative Care are very grateful for this most generous donation. In fact, if it wasn’t for support like this from the communities in which the Team work we would struggle to provide for those under the Team’s care.
For me it was a real pleasure to visit your school and meet the staff and the children. I can only say it that I was so taken by the children undertaking such a fundraiser. I do hope that they are all very proud of themselves for having made the event such a huge success. I am quite certain that Father Dan would be very proud of them too.
Please pass on our thanks also to the parents and everyone who supported this event and helped to make it so successful.

Your sincerely


Jimmy O Donnell
