Letterkenny University Hospital’s youngest patients received a wonderful surprise today when two Donegal GAA stars came for a Christmas visit.

Senior footballers Michael Murphy and Ryan McHugh took some time out this Friday to meet some brave little heroes at the LUH Paediatric Ward.

Michael and Ryan had a present for every child, kind words to share and brought joy to all families and the hard-working staff in the lead up to a difficult time for those who are ill.

With a get-well wish for everyone, Michael and Ryan gave all the children a great boost during the heart-warming visit.

Geraldine Diver was there to capture the memorable moments for this picture special:
