Eugene gets a push at the event in Kilmoganny

A special fundraiser took place in Kilmoganny at the weekend to raise funds for the Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team.

Eugene O’Donovan and friends came up with The Big Push, with Eugene the motivator to bring it all together. Eugene is currently receiving the essential services that the Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team provides. He was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2016 following bowel screening. In June 2022, a new tumour was identified, and he has been battling stomach cancer since. From June 2023, a palliative care route was recommended.placeholder image

Having engaged with the Homecare Team in September 2023, the quality of Eugene’s life and his family’s has been transformed.

The event raised funds to support the Carlow Kilkenny Homecare Team for everything they have given to Eugene and to everyone in the parish/ county who have received their services.
