Noah's bed push raises over a quarter million euro

A grand total of €253,815.75 has been raised as a result of seven people embarking on a 250k bed push from the Children’s Hospital Crumlin, Dublin to University Hospital to Letterkenny, last August.

People from across the country and further afield watched Noah's Bed Push on social media as they traveled across the country. Noah's updates lifted the hearts of thousands of people and indeed resulted in a huge amount of cash being raised for beneficiaries. 

Speaking today, Wednesday, at the cheque presentation event, in The Mount Errigal Hotel, Letterkenny, the team of bed-pushers said they never imagined this amount of money would be raised.  They also described the beneficiaries as worthy and said it was an honour to be part of the
momentous occasion.
