The UCD Medicine vs Actuary charity boxing match came back with a boom this year. In April 2023, 15 medicine and 15 actuary students went head to head in the one of the biggest events of the year for UCD.
In addition to tickets sales being donated to HUGG, a few of the participants did their own fundraising to raise awareness of HUGG and our service.
They raised an incredible €4,385
A heartfelt thank you to everyone involved.
This will help us to:
- To train more volunteers
- To fight the stigma and shame around suicide
- To support those impacted by suicide
And thank you again Katie Doyle Wahl for your fundraising and for personally getting HUGG chosen as the charity partner. You are a good friend to Milly.
