Large crowd gathers for fundraiser marking the life of Wexford man who went the extra mile to help others
So far, €430 has been raised of the €500 target set for this year's Jack Morris Memorial Fundraiser. All all of the funds raised will once again go towards the Hope Cancer Support Centre.
Jack was well-known in the local community as the former St Patrick's GAA Club groundskeeper and an avid GAA fan. Above all, he was a husband, brother, uncle and friend who went the extra mile to help others.
The fundraiser was born out of grief after Jack lost his battle with cancer. His family decided to run the fundraiser as an annual event, with the hopes of creating a legacy which reflects Jack's life.
Last year was the first year it was run and they raised an incredible €3,289 for the Hope Cancer Support Centre. For anyone who hasn't had the chance to donate, the iDonate fund will be open until June 4.
Jack's niece, Amanda Murphy thanked everyone for coming on Sunday, making it another day Jack would be proud of. She also thanked all of those who helped out on the day with baking and doing the heavy lifting as well as the local businesses that donated raffle prizes.
