Sickly a sell-out but funds still needed
T
The Sickly Come Dancing event organized by the Sports and Social Club of University Hospital Kerry is already sold out but contributions can still be made through their GoFundMe page. The event, which will take place in Ballygarry House Hotel, Tralee on February 23, is in aid of the chemotherapy day unit in UHK. In total 24 hospital staff members from all different disciplines within the hospital have volunteered to dance ably assisted by a hardworking supporting committee.
The chemotherapy day unit is where chemotherapy is administered to oncology patients. Due to increasing demand for oncology services in Kerry the hospital has outgrown the current units facilities and are in the process of looking to extend the unit in order to provide a purpose built facility where patients can be treated with compassion, respect and dignity at all stages of the treatment process.
The expansion of the current chemotherapy day unit is essential in order to address the growing demand for the service.
To make a donation, visit gofundme.com/sports-and-social-club-uhk. Cheques can be sent to Cora Walsh, Sports and Social Club Chairperson, UHK.
