Hospice fundraising - A worthy cause

The one absolute certainty in this life is that it will ultimately end in death.

So the treatment of terminally ill people should be of concern to everyone, because at some time death will affect each of us and all of our loved ones.

One day last week the Marymount hospice in Cork treated a total of 272 inpatients, day care patients, and home care patients, but 53 other terminally patients were awaiting their first home care visit. Forty-two terminally ill patients had to be turned away from hospices in Dublin for an average of five days.
