SISTERS GOING EGG-STRA MILE

TWO young Irish sisters are on a mission to provide 1,500 Easter eggs to children in hospital so they have “something nice to look forward to”.

Lauren Metcalfe, 17, and her younger sister Ellamay, eight, started their appeal for chocolate eggs, or donations for them, on February 20 on TikTok, which was viewed by more than 6,000 people.

A month later, people from the sisters’ home town of Ballymun, Co Dublin, as well as those further afield, sent them donations through Revolut or dropped Easter eggs off at Nan’s Centra and Off Licence, the shop where their father Thomas Metcalfe works as a delivery driver.
