Drogheda Night Walk in support of Night Nurses
Popular 2FM DJ and cancer survivor Louise McSharry was on hand recently to launch the Boots Night Walks for Night Nurses recently. The Louth Night Walk will take place on Monday, August 14th.
The walk is an annual event organised to raise money for the Irish Cancer Society’s Night Nursing Service.
This will be the fifth year of the walk which raises vital funds for the service.
Cancer survivor and ambassador for the Boots Night Walks Louise McSharry is encouraging people across Ireland to help Boots raise much needed funds for the Irish Cancer Society’s Night Nursing Service.
This amazing service offers free end of life care to cancer patients across Ireland allowing them to remain in their own homes, surrounded by family and friends during what can be a difficult and anxious time in their lives.
To help Boots raise the much needed funds for the Night Nursing service, Boots will have Honour Tags on sale in Boots stores nationwide for €2. Customers can purchase a tag in honour of someone who has survived or passed away from cancer.
One metre will be walked in honour of that person and the tags are brought from each store across Ireland to their local night walk. The front of the tag allows for the name of the individual with space on the back for a personal message. Ambassador Louise McSharry said: ‘It’s such an honour to be an ambassador for the Boots Night Walks campaign in aid of the Irish Cancer Society’s Night Nursing service for the second year in a row.
‘For many patients and their families across the country, the night nursing service has, and will continue to provide them with comfort knowing that they are cared for throughout what can be one of the most difficult times in a family’s life. The Irish Cancer Society provides vital services for people living with cancer, and without support from companies like Boots and people around Ireland they simply would not be able to continue.’
To date Boots has raised over €1,100,000 for the
