Three years ago former Donegal footballer Marty Carlin was battling bowel cancer.
Today the well-known man-about-town is organising a coffee morning in a bid to give something back.
Marty is leading a team in the Relay for Life and many of Marty’s Marvels will gather at the Sandwich Company (opposite new Dunnes Stores) in Letterkenny to help him raise some much-needed cash.
Marty says he is one of the lucky ones in that he went and got medical help in time.
“I was one of the lucky ones but I’m delighted to be able to give something back.
“Relay for Life was a great event last year and hopefully it will be even bigger this year.
“I hope as many people can come along for chat and a cup of tea and raise as much money and awareness as possible,” he said.
The coffee morning will take place between 10am and noon today and donations from all coffee and food bought will be made by the Sandwich Company to Marty’s team.
