Raising funds for RVH and Antrim Neonatal Units

After a complicated pregnancy, our beautiful identical twin boys, Tadhg and Oisín, were born 9 weeks early on 19 January 2021.

Our boys had come through so much during pregnancy, with a diagnosis of a suspected life threatening condition TTTS at 15 weeks pregnant and life saving surgery at 19 weeks pregnant.
Our little warriors fought hard to get here and as soon as they were born their lives and care were in the hands of the Neonatal teams.

We had two very different journeys with Tadhg and Oisín, but there was one thing that was the same - the Neonatal teams that looked after them were incredible.

On 28 January they shared our worst moment when our precious little Oisín passed away and on 25 February they shared a very happy moment when Tadhg was discharged to come home.

Our boys are 2 out of around 2,000 babies (Tiny Life) that enter a Neonatal unit each year in Northern Ireland.

These teams work tirelessly to look after all these babies, so in honour of the amazing care and love that was shown to our boys (and to us), we would like to give something back and in raising this money we will take a ‘Big Leap for Tiny Feet’ and climb Croagh Patrick along with some family and friends.

We would be so grateful for any size of donation that you can make to go towards funding resources for the two units our boys stayed in, to help these amazing teams do what they do best.

Thank you, Ralph, Aisling & Tadhg #teamtoar
