LAST WEEK Jennifer Cunningham, Founder and President of Paul Cunningham Nurses, met with Lisa and Shaun, who are approaching their 10th Anniversary of serving great food at Spud Murphy’s in Playa Flamenca. Jennifer presented them with the very first €10,000 fundraising certificate from PCN. Jennifer said: “I wanted to personally thank these very special people for all the hard work they have done in the last two and a half years raising money for PCN. The now famous race nights have become an annual event. “Having lost my son Paul at just 33 to spinal cancer I know how much the support and care from the Sue Ryder Hospice meant to me and this is what I and my team strive to provide for
others through the charity Paul Cunningham Nurses, providing Hospice Care at Home when it is needed most. “We always need people to help as volunteers to distribute collecting tins or to help with events that can be as simple as a coffee and cake morning to an elaborate dinner and dance. Don’t forget we now have a PCN Charity Shop in Playa Flamenca beach side of the N332. ‘Give a little, help a lot’ is what we ask and I thank all of those of you who do from the top and bottom of my heart.” You can contact Paul Cunningham Nurses on nurses@paulcunninghamnurses.com or for fundraising sueinthesun@hotmail.co.uk and 639 318 526
