Patient’s £1,500 generous donation to Derry hospital’s breast screening unit

A FORMER patient has raised a four figure sum for Altnagelvin Hospital’s breast screening unit.

Debbie Dunne from Strathfoyle in the city presented the unit with a cheque for £1,500.

Following Debbie’s treatment for breast cancer in the Breast Screening Unit she took part in the Walled City Marathon and raised £1,500 in acknowledgement of the excellent care and treatment she received.

The Western Trust say: “This donation will be used for the benefit of patients and staff in the Unit.

“Debbie and her daughter Jolene visited the Unit to make the presentation to Breast Screening Unit staff Julie McLaughlin, Marietta Connor, Dr Diggin, Mandy Bradley and Leona Kee.”
