Nenagh community rallies round local woman’s cancer battle

Tricia & Tom McKeogh, Willowbrook B&B in Nenagh.

Two Nenagh B&B owners have raised over €2,000 for a local woman’s cancer battle by baking roulades.

Tom and Tricia McKeogh of Willowbrook B&B baked 90 of the meringue treats, as well as 20 apple tarts, across successive weekends to raise money for Alannah Sheehan.

The 32-year-old Nenagh woman had surgery on a large brain tumour earlier this year, and her cancer treatment is continuing.

Almost €110,000 has already been raised on the GoFundMe page ‘Worth_Fighting4″.

Tom McKeogh says they were happy to play their part in selling baked goods for Alannah.

“The total came in at €2,205 – our target was to sell them for €20 each but a lot of people obviously gave extra because they wanted to support it.”

“A lot of people that supported us had supported Alannah through her GoFundMe page.
