Delia marks 70th birthday with €6,000 fundraiser

An older woman with short blonde hair, wearing a purple dress with a brooch and jewellery, sits smiling on a beige chair. Green and yellow leaves fill the background, creating a warm atmosphere reminiscent of the comforting care provided by Mayo Roscommon Hospice.

The lovely Delia Hughes has been fundraising for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation for over 20 years and for her 70th birthday this year, she decided to do something extra special for the organisation.

To mark her milestone birthday, Delia set up an online fundraising page using the iDonate platform. Originally, the birthday girl set her sights on a ¤750 target but she very quickly surpassed this and has now closed out the
fundraiser at a staggering ¤6,000. Over the last two decades, Delia has raised significant funds for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation by hosting a Coffee Morning each September on the charity’s National Coffee Morning Day. Her latest fundraiser once again highlights her generosity and dedication to the cause. The Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation is so thankful to Delia for everything she has done for the charity over the last two decades. Delia, you are incredible, and an inspiration to us all.
