THE Western Trust says staff at Altnagelvin Hospital were delighted to receive a cheque from the family of a young girl who passed away with a rare condition.
The Trust says: “Our Neo Natal Unit at Altnagelvin and Community Children’s Nursing Team received a kind donation of £5,000 from the Quinn Family.
“Joanne and Stephen, along with their four sons Charlie, Patrick, Brendan and Brian made the donation in memory of their daughter Mary Rose Gia, who had Edwards Syndrome and had been cared for in NNICU for a short time but sadly passed away at 12 weeks.
“The family raised the money through organising a sponsored New Year’s Day Swim, held in Culdaff, Co. Donegal and the parents of Charlie’s classmates at St Aengus’ NS, Bridgend who donated money from Bonus Ball.
“The Quinn family made the presentation on Mary Rose Gia’s second birthday.”
