The annual ‘Models in Recovery’ Fashion Show, hosted by the Killarney Branch of Kerry Hospice Foundation, is set to make a return on Thursday, September 12 at the INEC.

This popular event, which has been captivating audiences since its inception in 2014, aims to raise crucial funds for Kerry Hospice.

A unique and inspiring aspect of the show is its all-cancer survivor models. Ordinary women and men who have bravely faced adversity will take to the catwalk to showcase their resilience and support a worthy cause.

The evening will be emceed by the charismatic Donegal native and TV personality, Noel Cunningham.

Adding to the entertainment, Liam O'Connor and family, fresh from their recent performance at the Olympic village in Paris, will be providing musical delights. Additionally, 'The 3 O's' (the O'Leary Brothers) will be entertaining guests during the wine reception.

As always, the event will feature a variety of door and spot prizes. The wine reception will begin at 7:30 pm, followed by the main fashion show at 8 pm.

Killarney Branch PRO, Cathal Walshe, highlighted Kerry Hospice's ongoing efforts to expand its services countywide. The organisation is seeking planning permission to add five more beds to the existing 15-bed inpatient unit at University Hospital Kerry (UHK). Furthermore, plans are underway to establish a multidisciplinary satellite Palliative Day Care Unit in Killarney, providing vital services to the Killarney and South Kerry regions.

Tickets for the 'Models in Recover' Fashion Show are priced at €20 and can be purchased from Pat Doolan (085-1543514) or the INEC Booking Office (064-6671555).
