Hi all,  My name is Enda Morris and I am running a small fundraiser in the hope of raising much needed funds for the North Westmeath Hospice. Since 1994 the North Westmeath Hospice has been providing quality palliative care services to people with terminal or life limiting illnesses and to support families who have lost loved ones. One of the people they so kindly cared for was my auntie Ettie and this is my main reason for choosing this particular charity. I wanted to remember her while helping other families who need these services during these very difficult times. This organisation is continuing to provide the same level of care and services to people despite a drop in income since Covid-19.  I have decided to host a ‘Guess the Number of Sweets in the Jar’ competition (Thank me for not making yee run!). All you have to do is guess the number of sweets in the jar shown in the picture below, make a donation and put your guess after your name. If you guess the correct answer or have the answer closest to it, you win the jar of sweets, as well as  a wonderful hamper.  It is at this stage I must thank so many local businesses that have, without hesitation, donated very generous spot prizes for the winning hamper ( sweet right ;) ) The hamper includes the following;  -€100 voucher for Specsavers, Mullingar.  -€20 voucher for the Chip Shop, Mullingar  -€50 voucher for Clarke's Bar, Mullingar.   - €25 Voucher for James Maguire & Sons Family Butchers  -€40 voucher for Swarbriggs Shoe Shop.  -€40 Voucher for Fagans Mullingar  -Bottle of Prosecco ( sponsored by The Old Stand)  -Voucher for White Angels Hair Salon -Voucher for a gel polish manicure for LL Nail & Beauty ( Lauren Leahy) -Black & Decker Drill and Toolbox  (sponsored by Smyths Hardware, Mullingar) -The jar of sweets  and some additional goodies including wine ( sponsored by Vinny's Taxi)  -€50 voucher for Brickz 4 Kidz  -€20 Dapper Shams barber voucher & €25 hair products.  -KK Bargain Balloon's for making up the hamper so nicely.  Please support locally when getting your bits and pieces :)  Thanks in advance for your donations. Remember to leave your guess alongside your name :)  Enda
