Watch: Hospice nurse Mary braves the shave in the name of charity

DONEGAL Hospice nurse Mary Coyle braved the shave in the name of charity this evening.

Mary shaved her locks to raise money for the Donegal Hospice and Pieta House.

The Glenfin native, who now lives in Dooish, wanted to help raise funds for the two good causes.

Her charity challenge was broadcast live on Facebook and already she has raised well over €8,000 – far and above her initial €1,000 target.

Mary has worked at Donegal Hospice since 2004. While staff are coping well with Covid-19 guidelines, she said the hospice will soon face financial pressure from the impact of the pandemic.

Pieta House will face similar challenges in 2020, and Mary also wanted to support their work with her fundraiser.
