Help little Mia say thank you to Ronald McDonald house.
We are Paul Foran & Cillian Farrell. We are firefighters based in Edenderry Fire Station. We are raising funds to help little Mia and her parents, Aishling & Sean and her big brother Kayden to express their gratitude to Ronald McDonald House for their help during a very difficult time.
How we are raising funds is by running a half marathon, 14 miles, from Ballinagar to Edenderry in full fire kit (fire boots, Helmet, fire tunic & leggings). This is a really tough challenge in the fire kit, which is very heavy and is designed to keep the heat out!
We plan to start at 10am on 6th July 2019 and to arrive in Edenderry to meet with the rest of the Offaly Fire and Rescue crew to finish in the square. We would greatly appreciate any support/donations from local people and businesses for this worthy cause.
Mia's Story by her mum Aishling from Edenderry::
Ronald McDonald house are a fantastic charity who brings families together in the hardest times of their lives. Mia had open heart surgery at 5 months old she had 2 holes in her heart and a damaged valve and all had to be repaired. She was in surgery for over 6 hours. It was more complicated than they thought and she had a lot of set-backs after surgery and she spent nearly 6 weeks in ICU. It was one of the hardest times of our lives. A nurse told us about Ronald McDonald house and they took us in straight away. It was like a home from home. The rooms were family orientated and we had our own bathroom and shower. They provided meals every day. Different sponsors came in and cooked fresh meals for all the families, the fridge was always full and they had washing machines cooking facilities anything you needed but the real reason it was so amazing was that we could be a family and bring our son Kayden up at weekends and spend precious time with him and not having to be rushing up & down from home. It really took a lot of pressure off us. They are not funded by anyone and rely totally on fundraisers done by the public. We spent nearly 2 months in Ronald McDonald house and without them our already very hard time would have been much worse.
We will always be grateful to them.
Lets help by donation and sharing
Thanks folks
