Skydive For ICU Of Galway University Hospital

On the 16th of December 2019, our beautiful Mum Jeannette left this world. Myself Hannah Riley and my brother Kieran Riley are going to do a 10,000 ft skydive to raise some money for the Intensive Care Unit in the Galway University Hospital, where our mother was treated. Our Mum battled metastatic breast cancer for close to 8 years. One day, at the end of October 2019, our Mum travelled to GUH for what was meant to be a usual hospital day trip there. Our Mum did not make it home again after this. She spent the last 5 and a half weeks of her life in hospital, and had to be moved to this ICU for her last 5 days. She suffered several health complications along the way, which sadly got the better of her in the end. Going into visit our Mum in ICU was absolutely devastating and incredibly difficult. However, the staff there could not have been anymore amazing. They did everything they could for our Mum and our family. Their job is to look after patients, but they go above and beyond every single day to ensure they are doing everything they can for their patient and their family. Seeing someone you love go through what our Mum went through is heartbreaking, but we as a family will never be able to commend the staff of Galway University Hospital enough for the never-ending love, care and support we received from them. We are doing this skydive in memory of our amazing Mum and to raise some money for the ICU for all the incredible work they do, the care they have for their patients and the support they give to families like us, all with a big smile at the same time! It simply cannot be put into words how grateful we are for everything they did for our family. Our Mum was an incredible woman. She fought so hard, and never once complained about any of it. She took everything in her stride, always put others first and did everything she could for her 5 young children. She was modest, brave, selfless, strong and beautiful. A trooper to this world. We all miss and love her so so much. We know how proud she is of us all and we continue to strive to make her proud in all we do. Her bravery and strength is admired every single day. We would really appreciate if you could donate anything at all. All of the money will go towards the ICU itself, where due to the current pandemic are under more pressure then ever. This money will also go towards supporting patients and families like ours. *we will be paying for the skydive ourselves. 100% of the money we raise will go to the ICU.
