The Killarney Branch of Kerry Hospice Foundation's annual 'Models in Recovery' Fashion Show was a huge success, raising an impressive €35,477 for Kerry Hospice services. 

The event, which took place on Thursday, September 12 at the Gleneagle INEC, featured 16 inspirational women and 8 male models, all cancer survivors, who took to the catwalk. Since its inception in 2014, the 'Models in Recovery' Fashion Show has continued to draw in big audiences, and this year's event was no different with over 1,000 people attending. The event was hosted by the ever-charismatic Noel Cunningham and entertainment was provided by Liam O'Connor and family, as well as the popular O'Leary Brothers.

Cathal Walshe, PRO of the Killarney Branch, expressed his “heartfelt thanks to all the generous sponsors who donated to the raffle and the local retailers and boutiques who provided the fabulous fashion wear for the event." 

He also extended special thanks to the Gleneagle INEC for hosting the show and ensuring its success.

"The cheque represents a significant contribution to the Kerry Hospice Foundation's ongoing efforts to expand its services across the county which includes a satellite Palliative Day Care Unit in Killarney to support the needs of the local community.

“With the incredible total raised, Kerry Hospice is one step closer to providing vital palliative care services to those who need it most in the Killarney and South Kerry regions. 

"The Killarney Branch of Kerry Hospice Foundation extends their deepest gratitude to everyone who supported the event," Cathal added.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Cathal is eager to let people know that preparations are already underway for the 2025 event, and the date is set for Thursday September 11 at the same venue.
