PATRICIA SAYS A THOUSAND (AND TEN) THANKS TO HER RESCUERS!

A Donegal woman has said a thousand and ten thanks to the Donegal Mountain Rescue Team.

Patrician McBride, her partner and their dog, were recently rescued by the DMRT when they got lost on a grim day up Muckish recently.

But instead of a simply ‘thank you’, Patricia decided to raise much-needed funds for the voluntary service.

So she and some friends organised a table quiz in Molly’s Bar in Dunfanaghy and managed to raise €1,010.

PRO of the DMRT Brian Murray said Patricia’s fundraising venture came completely out of the blue but they were delighted to receive the much-needed funds.

DRMT received very little funding apart from a 20% Government grant but rely mainly on contributions despite their terrific work.
