[lang_ie]Ar an oíche Aoine seo caite, 29 Meitheamh, d’fhógair Coiste Sealaíocht don Bheatha Dhún na nGall an t-iomlán deiridh de na cistí a thógtar le haghaidh Cumann Ailse na hÉireann don ócáid Sealaíocht don Bheatha a bhí ar siúl san aimsir dheas ghrianmhar ar an 25 agus 26 Bealtaine. Go dtí seo tá méid ollmhór de €346,000 ardaithe ag muintir Dhún na nGall agus beidh méadú ar ndóigh leis seo leis an díolachán le hamhrán Daniel O’Donnell – “I’ll see this journey through”.
Bhí dhá fhoireann pháirteacha sa Sealaíocht don Bheatha ón Choiste Ghairmoideachais – ceann ón Ionad Eachtraíochta Allamuigh i nGartán agus an ceann eile a chlúdaíonn an Coiste Gairmoideachais Contae Dhún na nGall ina iomláine (Ionad Traenála, Scoileanna, Cumasóige, Oifigí Riaracháin agus uile) agus idir an dá fhoireann tógadh an t-iomlán suntasach de €12,927.96 eatarthu. Rinneadh na seiceanna a bhronnadh ar Robert O’Connor agus Garvan McCloskey ón Choiste Sealaíocht don Bheatha ag na hOifigí Riaracháin ag Ard Uí Dhomhnaill, Leitir Ceanainn ar na mallaibh. Is féidir leis an bhfoireann uile ar fad ó Choiste Ghairmoideachais Chontae Dhún na nGall agus gach duine a thug tacaíocht dóibh leis an tionscnamh go léir a bheith bródúil leis an éacht iontach seo bainte amach agus ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas ó chroí a ghabháil le gach duine as a gcineáltas agus flaithiúlacht.
Thug an Coiste Sealaíocht don Bheatha buíochas fós do gach duine as ucht a rannpháirtíocht agus d’fhógair siad go mbeidh an Sealaíocht ar siúl arís ar an bhliain seo chugainn – arís ar an deireadh seachtaine dheiridh de mhí na Bealtaine, 2013. D’fhógair siad fós go bhfuil Cumann Ailse na hÉireann le hIonad Lus an Chromchinn a oscailt san Ospidéal Ginearálta Leitir Ceanainn le tacaíocht a thabhairt dóibh siúd a bhfuil tinn le hAilse.[/lang_ie]
[lang_en-uk]On Friday night last, 29th June, The Relay for Life Donegal Committee announced the final total of the funds raised for the Irish Cancer Society prior and during the weekend of the main Relay for Life event which took place in glorious sunshine on the 25th and 26th May last. To date the people of Donegal have raised the huge amount of €346,000 and this will of course increase with the sales of the record single from Daniel O’Donnell “I’ll see this journey through”.
Co.Donegal VEC had two teams involved in the Relay for Life, namely Gartan Outdoor Education Centre and the other team which covered all areas of the Donegal VEC (Adult Training Centres, Schools, Youthreach, Admin Offices etc). Both teams surpassed their own original targets and raised an impressive total of €12,927.96 between them. A presentation of the cheques to Robert O’Connor and Garvan McCloskey of the Relay for Life Donegal organising committee took place recently at the VEC Administration Offices at Ard O’Donnell, Letterkenny. The entire staff of Co.Donegal VEC and all who supported this initiative can all be proud of their association with this fantastic achievement and we would like to express our sincere thanks to everyone for their kindness and generosity.
The Relay for Life Donegal Organising Committee also thanked everyone for their involvement and announced that the Relay will take place again next year on the last weekend in May 2013. The Irish Cancer Society have also announced that they are going to open a Daffodil Centre in Letterkenny General Hospital to support those with Cancer.[/lang_en-uk]
