Two sets of sisters wore their finest festive red for the official launch of the Galway Hospice campaign – with all four having a special connection to the charity at the heart of the drive.

Because Sofia (8) and Shauna Cahill (6) from Ahascragh, Ballinasloe, and Sophie (7) and Eleanor Duane (5) from Abbey, Loughrea, became firm friends through the Hospice children’s bereavement workshop, following the sad passing of their dads, John Cahill and Nigel Duane.

And that’s why they were lending their support to the official launch of the Galway Hospice campaign – including their best-selling Christmas Cards – which took place this week at the Christmas Shop at McD’s.

Other gifts include new Tree Decorations (€5) available in robin, star and nativity designs, the very popular Angel Pins (€4), Wrapping Paper (€6) and Weekly Draw Gift Voucher (€66.04).

See the Hospice website or call 091-770868 to shop online and for more information on all the ways to support Galway Hospice this Christmas.
