Samurai Judo Club in Derry has conducted a marathon session at its Templemore Sports Complex base to raise funds for The Foyle Hospice.

Led by club coaches Seamy and Catherine, the club’s junior and adult team members gave it their all during the sponsored fundraising event for the Derry charity on March 14.

And all that effort paid off as Samurai Judo Club raised over £700 for the hospice, a sum which included a generous donation from Brendan McDaid.

Margaret Burns from Foyle Hospice was delighted to collect the cheque on behalf of the hospice and the club thanked everyone who helped them with the fundraising.
