DENNIS’S CLOSE SHAVE RAISES £4,400 FOR ALTNAGELVIN BREAST SCREENING UNIT

A generous donation of £4,400 has been presented to the West Health Trust’s Breast Screening Unit at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry.

The money was raised by Dennis Crossan who shaved his beard in a campaign his family called “The Beard Must Go for Cancer Care.”

Dennis and his family chose to donate to the Breast Screening Unit at Altnagelvin in acknowledgment of the excellent care and treatment that Bernadette McMonagle, and another family member, had received in the Unit.

Pictured at the donation presentation were Carolyn Rutherford, Staff Nurse; Padraig Diggin, Consultant Breast Surgeon; Fiona Rankin, Breast Care Nurse; Leona Key, Clinic Nurse; Donna Kerlin, Deputy Superintendent Radiographer; Dennis Crossan; Past Patient Bernadette McMonagle; Sharon McConnell, Clerical Officer and Martina McKinney.
