Over the first two weeks of December, Declan Daly and his siblings, Geraldine, Paula and Kenneth, together with some well known faces from the world of broadcasting and sport - are taking on a virtual 5km challengeto support front-line staff at the Mercy University Hospital and to remember their mother, Lena. In September 2020, Lena Daly sadly passed away at The Mercy after spending over three weeks there. Speaking about this difficult time in their lives, Declan said “the efforts of the catering, cleaning, nursing and care teams contributed greatly tomaking my mam’s time on the wards a very dignified and humane one.” This inspired the siblings to come together and raise funds for the Mercy University Hospital Foundation’s Covid-19 Appeal. Funds raised will support frontline staff at The Mercy as they work through the Covid-19 pandemic this Christmas. They are challengingthemselves to walk or run 5km and you are invited to do the same.
