What an incredible achievement! 💛

A huge congratulations to staff from First Choice Credit Union who recently took on a HYROX challenge and raised an amazing €3,000 for The Sunflower Children's Hospice. What a fantastic way to turn teamwork, determination and a little bit of sweat into something that will make a real difference. 👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

A very special shout-out also goes to staff member Linda Cox, her son Daire, and their family. Their story is a powerful reminder of the importance of the work to be carried out by The Sunflower Children's Hospice and the families it will support. 💛

You can read more about Daire’s story in this touching piece featured by RTÉ: https://www.rte.ie/news/connacht/2026/0124/1554876-childrens-hospice/

Well done to everyone involved, and thank you for helping shine a light on such an important cause. 🌻
