Students of Fivemiletown College raised more than £1,300 for Marie Curie through a street collection held in Fivemiletown earlier this year.

Staff and students of the college recently presented a cheque for the total amount raised – £1,308 – to the charity.

On behalf of Marie Curie, Ruth Jacks thanked the students for their support, and for their fundraising efforts back in April.

"All money raised will go directly to nursing patients locally who have cancer or any other end-stage terminal illness," said Ruth.
