Pat's Big Heart

Donation protected
If you were lucky to be in Pat's company, you'd know he had an unusually big heart. It came through in his friendly candour, somehow making you feel at home in your own home or bringing an eclectic group together with his brilliant comedic musings, or entertaining at 3am with a whiskey fueled sing-along (but really solo performance)!
...
We knew Pat had an unusually big heart but unfortunately, we didn't know it was medically true. It was a vital piece of information that could have put us in the right direction.

Our family is fundraising for Prof Carl Vaughn 's genetic research at Mercy Hospital to mark Pat's first anniversary on 3rd September. We're currently benefiting from the good heart (no pun intended) of this cardiologist who believes genetic testing should be part of medical care and shouldn't be a financial burden on patients. Through the study, we're able to identify the chromosomal marker that expresses aortic enlargement.

So in keeping with Indian traditions to pass on good karma in the name of our loved ones, my new target is to get to €10,000, which could help 8 other families like ours to have a chance to know. 

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for sharing and donating... This means a lot to our family!
