Former RTE newsreader Eileen Dunne is set to take part in this year's VHI Women's Mini Marathon next month to raised much needed funds for a hospice.
The 65-year-old Dublin native retired after 42 years of service with RTE in November, 2022. At the time, the Nine O'Clock News presenter signed off from her final broadcast saying: "It's been an honour and a privilege ...see you on the other side."
Now Eileen is set to walk in this year's Mini Marathon on June 4 in aid of St Francis's Hospice in Blanchardstown. Over the years the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon and its legion of hospice supporters have raised of €1.4million of vital funding for St. Francis Hospice, and this year to maintain its palliative care services it needs to raise €4.5million.
