Michelle's Family Fundraiser

We at Mellowes Adventure and Childcare Centre Athboy Co Meath Ireland C15W288 are fundraising for the local Bagnall family from Trim Co Meath Ireland who deserve our support due to the recent tragic loss of Michelle, a loving wife and mother who leaves behind a very young family of 4 children, a baby aged 7 months, twins aged 4 years and older boy of 10 years and heartbroken husband Oliver.

Michelle was just like any other mother at crèche; smiling, juggling snacks and school runs, raising three beautiful boys with another baby on the way. Michelle was full of life, love, and laughter.

During her pregnancy she felt unwell. A scan in December 2024 revealed the unthinkable, Michelle had multiple tumors on her brain which were cancerous and terminal.

In a matter of weeks, Michelle and her husband Oliver were faced with an impossible decision—bring baby Nico into the world early to give him a chance at life, knowing Michelle’s time was running out.

Baby Nico was born on the 9th of January 2025. Michelle passed away on the 11th March 2025 aged 40, just two months after Nico’s birth.

In the wake of this unimaginable loss, Oliver has become a full-time carer for their four young children, loosing his self-employed status.

Now, the community is coming together in memory of Michelle and to support the Bagnall family by running a special event at Mellowes Adventure and Childcare Centre:
