A charity dance in memory of Kathleen Lynch will be held on Saturday the 18th of May to raise funds for the Letterkenny Oncology Unit.
Kathleen’s husband Joe Lynch, who is from Carrickmore St Johnston, is having the dance in Maggie’s Tavern St Johnston on the 1st anniversary of his wife’s passing.
All funds raised will go directly to the Letterkenny Oncology Unit, which offered a lot of support to Joe and his two children Colm and Claire while Kathleen was going through her cancer treatment. Kathleen’s battle with cancer sadly ended on the 17th of May 2018, when she was 53 years old.

“I have to thank the Oncology Unit, they were so good to us. Every day we were there, they made it feel like home,” Joe said.
The Lynch family want to hold this dance in memory of Kathleen and to also raise funds for the Letterkenny Oncology Unit as they want other families to get the support and help they got while going through the same journey.
The Letterkenny Oncology Unit is a team of medical professionals who offer their services to people who are going through cancer treatment and who dedicate their time to the person diagnosed.
The dance will be at nine o’clock in Maggies Tavern with music by C.R. Country. There will be spot prizes and tickets for the event are just five euro. All are welcome to enjoy this great night out.
Any sponsorship or vouchers which businesses or individuals can donate to the dance would be greatly appreciated.
This event will provide support for other local families and will also provide awareness to the Letterkenny Oncology Unit on the hard work they do and the care and support they offer families in these tough times.
