The recent Friends of Brian Greene Fundraiser in aid of Brian Greene and Waterford Hospice – which saw Waterford take on Cork in a Senior Hurling Challenge at Fraher Field, Dungarvan in January – has raised a whopping €44.226.98.
€30,000 will go towards the Friends of Brian Greene with an additional €14,226.98 for Waterford Hospice.
Greene was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2022 and is currently undergoing treatment.
Greene achieved Munster glory with both Waterford and Mount Sion in 2002. The number seven fell to his knees at the final whistle when the Déise won their first provincial title in 39 years against Tipperary at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
Fundraising committee members Sonya Kelly, Sean Daly and John Mullane said: “We would like to thank everyone for their generous contributions to our recent fundraising event. We sincerely appreciate all of your help.”
