The Letterkenny Babies Christmas Jumper party was a great success, with festive fun and fundraising enjoyed by all.

The annual event brings local parents and children together for a family day out in aid of a great cause.

This year’s party raised €1,100 for The Belarus Orphanage Appeal. The donation will be awarded to Myrtle Doherty from Ramelton, who runs an appeal at the beginning of every year to send vital goods to children in Belarus. Many of the children in Vesnova have been affected by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster and have been affected by birth defects and cancer.

Letterkenny Babies admins Louise Flanagan and Edel McElhinney said they were delighted with the amount raised for Myrtle’s appeal at Sunday’s Christmas party.
