Students at Terenure College have raised almost €70,000 with a cancer fundraiser in honour of the late Dr Emer Holohan, the mother of one of their classmates.
After hearing that she was seriously ill with cancer, they decided to fundraise for the charities which were so supportive during her illness – and in less than a fortnight have raised more than €69,000. Sadly, since they started their campaign, Dr Emer Holohan, beloved wife of chief medical officer Tony Holohan and mother to Ronan (18) and Clodagh (20), has passed away.
But the fundraiser is continuing in her honour thanks to the efforts of students including Cian Sullivan (18) and three of his friends – James Foran, Luke Breslin and Lorcan O’Neill.
