THE MCGUINNESS FAMILY RAISE €4,416

The McGuinness family from Navan rallied together in 2017 to raise funds for St Clares Ward in Beaumont Hospital in memory of Martin McGuinness, the eldest of eight siblings and husband and father to three children. Martin lost his short battle with cancer in August 2016 and the family, still trying to come to terms with his loss, decided to throw their energies into raising funds for St Clare’s Oncology Ward where Martin received treatment. Through a coffee morning held by his sister, Kathleen, and a beard shave in Navan O'Mahoney's Football Club with food generously supplied by Seamus Connolly Catering and supported by many businesses in Navan, the family raised a fantastic €4,416.
