Cork’s 96FM Giving for Living Radiothon Coffee Break @ Carrigtwohill Pharmacy

Coffee Morning A4

Cork’s 96FM Giving for Living Radiothon will be live on air on 21st, 22nd and 23rd May 2015. This year’s Giving for Living Radiothon will support cancer services in Cork in;

  • The Mercy Hospital Foundation
  • Cork University Hospital,
  • Marymount Hospice
  • Breakthrough Cancer Research and;
  • Cork Arc Cancer Support House

Cancer has tragically touched all our lives in some way. Every person, every family and every community have their own stories and experiences with this disease and how it has affected them or people close to them in some way.

The work these cancer services do for all the people of Cork, including Carrigtwohill, is simply incredible. They offer treatment, support, advice, strength, comfort and care to all patients and their families. Their contribution and its profound effect cannot be put into words and Carrigtwohill Pharmacy is dedicated to doing anything we can to raise awareness and much needed funds for these services. We are proud to take part in the 2015 ‘Giving for Living’ Radiothon in association with Cork’s 96 FM.

Carrigtwohill Pharmacy will be supporting this wonderful cause by running a very special “Coffee Break” morning to help raise vital funds and for a chance to bring our incredible community and customers together.

The Coffee Morning will take place at 10 am on Thursday 21st May 2015 in the pharmacy.

Everyone is welcome to attend, to enjoy each others company, share their stories and experiences, with the hope that we will grow closer as a community while making a positive difference. There will be coffee and of course tea available, as well as some delicious and indulgent cakes, biscuits and treats. It should be a really enjoyable morning for all involved.

All proceeds raised on the day will go to the Cork cancer services listed above. With your support, we can make real change happen to ensure those dealing with cancer get the care they deserve right on their doorstep.

Carrigtwohill Pharmacy’s Ger Browne running the Cork City Marathon in aid of Cork Simon Community & Shine Ireland

Ger is training extremely hard and is determined to do his best, as he is once again running in aid of the Cork Simon Community & Shine Ireland. Your support last year was incredible. Thanks to your generosity Ger was able to raise a tremendous €2,000 for these respective charities. This money has a profound effect and ensures that the charities are able to help those in need. A little donation goes a long way. You may not think it but your help, support and money has the potential to achieve so much and make a real difference in people’s lives.

All the team in Carrigtwohill Pharmacy would like to extend a massive thank you to all those wonderfully generous people who supported and sponsored Ger who completed the Cork City Marathon during the June Bank Holiday weekend. (In style might we add).

This marathon was very special as Ger was running in aid of Cork Simon Community & Shine Ireland. Both are very worthwhile charities and all the donations made were greatly appreciated and will help to make a valuable difference to these charities.

We are delighted to announce that we raised an incredible €2,000! This amazing amount made all of Ger’s aches and pains after the marathon all worth it.

 

Ger nominated for the People’s Pharmacist of the Year Award

We are thrilled to announce, that our very own Ger Browne has been nominated for the People’s Pharmacist of the Year Award in the Irish Pharmacy News’ Irish Pharmacy Awards 2014 (http://www.pharmacynewsireland.com/irishpharmacyawards2014.html). The event is taking place on Saturday, May 24th in the Hilton DoubleTree Hotel in Dublin and will be hosted by RTE’s Miriam O’Callaghan.

 

The awards serve as a platform for the pharmacy industry’s professionals to be saluted for their innovation, determination and pursuit of excellence.

 

The People’s Pharmacist of the Year Award, is a very special award as it is sponsored and supported by the Jack and Jill Foundation (http://www.jackandjill.ie/). This is an incredibly worthwhile charity who provides nursing care and support for children with severe neurological development issues, as well as offering some respite to the parents and families. The foundation also provides direct funding to families, enabling them to buy home respite care. The foundation almost exclusively relies on donations to give these families the crucial help and support they deserve and need. Ger and all the team at Carrigtwohill Pharmacy are both honoured and proud to have one of our own family in the Pharmacy nominated for an award associated with such an amazing charity.

 

The nature of the People’s Pharmacist of the Year award is unique as it is aimed at giving the public a unique opportunity to nominate and praise their local pharmacist through Facebook and online. This promotion gives the public throughout Ireland a chance to share their stories of individual pharmacists and pharmacy businesses that have gone the extra mile for them, whilst further highlighting to an even wider-reaching audience awareness of this exceptional profession.

Ger Browne

The judges are looking for a pharmacist that has an outstanding relationship with the community, gives unparalleled advice and goes beyond the call of duty for their patients and customers. We feel Ger has all these traits and qualities and more. Everyday he treats all his customers and their families as if they are his own and instills in all the team the desire to deliver excellence in customer service at all times and ensure all our customers receive all the advice and help they need. (But we don’t let Ger know how amazing he is too often, just incase his head gets a little too big and we couldn’t be having that  😉 )

 

Ger is absolutely delighted and humbled to be nominated for such a prestigious award, along with so many excellent pharmacists throughout Ireland. He hopes to represent Carrigtwohill Pharmacy and all the Carrigtwohill Community as best as he possibly can. Plus, he looks for any old excuse to brush the dust of the old tuxedo for a night of glitz and glamour.

 

Ger would personally like to thank all the wonderful people in Carrigtwohill and the further community who took the time and effort to nominate him. He was really taken aback by all your kindness and support. It means so much to him to know that so many of Carrigtwohill Pharmacy’s customers value and are happy with the pharmacy’s service as we pride ourself on being “Your Family Pharmacy”. We promise to continue to

 

All the team at Carrigtwohill Pharmacy would like to wish Ger the very best of luck on Saturday at the awards. Enjoy every second of it. Win or not, we are all extremely proud of him.

 

Go team Ger!
