In June 2023 Niamh was a 32 year old, vibrant, strong, fit and healthy rugby player for the Women’s team in Clondalkin Rugby Club. The following month in July 2023, Niamh was unfortunately diagnosed with Breast Cancer.

Niamh is a wonderful mother to a beautiful little girl and a loving partner to Kev.

Since July 2023, Niamh has been valiantly undergoing aggressive treatment to fight cancer. Throughout Niamh’s diagnosis and treatment, she has remained hugely positive, always has a smile on her face and has courageously fought each step of the way with great dignity and bravery. Niamh is an outstanding person both on and off the rugby pitch and continues to be!

In May 2024, Niamh and Kev received the devastating news that her cancer is incurable and won’t be beatable in the long run.

Niamh & Kev have been stalwart members of Clondalkin Rugby Club for many years now. Both have been successful club captains and can always be seen on the sidelines cheering on other club teams and each other.

Clondalkin Rugby Club prides itself on being a family centered club and now wish to return their years of loyalty and offer as much support to Niamh, Kev and their family as possible through the days ahead.

We are setting up this go fund me page to raise funds to allow this beautiful family to make some long lasting memories together.

We are hoping that the Clondalkin Rugby Club and wider community will rally with us to support this beautiful young family to fulfill some dream adventures together.
