Running for Children's Health Foundation

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page, your support is really appreciated.

As have many parents in Ireland, myself and Aoife have experienced first hand the amazing work that is carried out daily by the wonderful staff at Temple Street and Crumlin Children’s Hospital. In 2017 we spent 5 weeks between them both with one of our beautiful girls, as well as many follow up appointments. This stressful time was made easier by the caring attention and expertise of all the staff we encountered. It is a time we will never forget, and our great appreciation is something which is always at the forefront of our minds. There are names of people we met, from housekeeping and accommodation staff to therapists and consultants that we regularly speak fondly of and feel great gratitude that they were part of our experience. Such times are not easy for any parent, and the difference that is made by the kindness of staff is beyond measure.

Children’s Health Foundation (formerly CMRF Crumlin and Temple Street Foundation) endeavours to provide patients with life-changing treatment, improving the quality of life for patients and their families. This Foundation raises vital funds to support sick children and their families in CHI hospitals and urgent care centres – from funding vital life-saving equipment and providing essential patient and parental supports to making ground-breaking, paediatric research possible.

This upcoming marathon will be my first, and is a very challenging task for me. It will, however, be made easier by the fact that in completing it, I will be raising funds for such a wonderful organisation.

Any donation you can give is appreciated, however small it may seem, it all counts - every single cent.

Thank you so much for reading this and for your support. I will keep you all updated closer to the finish line!
