“When we heard Mick’s track, we instantly knew it summed up the spirit of the show perfectly” said Hector. “Then after listening to the song non-stop we thought, this could be the perfect way to help raise funds and awareness for the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation that Laurita is involved with.”
“As a huge fan of the podcast the song just wrote itself, I sent it to the West with the hope the guys would hear it, never for a second thinking we would be releasing it officially with the blessing of the show”, said song writer and performer, Mick Konstantin.
Martina Jennings, Chief Executive Officer, Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation “We are so grateful to Laurita, Tommy and Hector for choosing Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation to be the recipient of the funds raised from this song. With all our shops closed and fundraising events cancelled, it has been a real challenge to raise funds for our palliative care service. We are incredibly grateful to them”.
“The Tommy and Hector Podcast with Laurita Blewitt” Song is out now across all of the major digital platforms.
Learn more about the Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation:
Mayo Roscommon Hospice Foundation was founded in 1992. Before the Foundation was established there were no specialist services for terminally ill patients in Mayo and Roscommon. People were often sent home from the hospital and many suffered difficult and painful deaths. In 1992, thanks to the foresight and dedication of a small group of people, the Foundation was established as a voluntary organisation to help provide Hospice/Palliative Care Services in the two Counties.
The Foundation agreed to work in association with the Western Health Board (now HSE West) in an effort to meet the Service needs. The Service covers an area of 3,143 sq. miles with a population of 194,000 (Mayo approx. 130,000 and Roscommon 64,000). The Foundation, with the loyal support of the public, continues to fund the service in association with HSE West. Every year we fund approx 50% of the existing Service costs and to build two Hospices in Mayo and Roscommon.
In 2019 the Mayo Hospice was completed at a cost of €9m, all of which came from fundraised income. We will continue to fund services within the Mayo Hospice through fundraising.
In March 2020 construction began on the Roscommon Hospice. This will be an 8-bed inpatient facility with full daycare services and is due for completion in July 2021. Again the €6m cost of construction will come from fundraised income.
