The story behind the big push:
The Jack and Jill Children's Foundation holds a very special place in our hearts. They have provided us with wonderful nursing care for our two precious sons, Cillian and Odhran who were both born with a rare genetic condition - Trisomy 9p and Monosomy10q. Cillian was born in 2006 and sadly died at age 4 in 2010. Jack and Jill provided us with nursing care during Cillians short life. Odhran was born in 2017 and is now 3 years old. Cathy Keighery is our liaison nurse with Jack and Jill and knew Cillian also. This made joining Jack and Jill again so easy as we knew what to expect and the support from Cathy has been wonderful.
Odhran has a number of medical care needs; he is fed into his small bowel 24hrs per day, he has epilepsy and a number of other issues. Odhran is currently cared for by Cathy and nurse Ronnie Keady. Ronnie is like part of our family and is referred to as "Granny Ronnie" by Odhrans big sister Isla Mae. This service is a lifeline to families like ours,ensuring that Odhran stays out of hospital as much as possible or has a reduced length of stay. It allows us do basic things like shopping, pharmacy collections, collect Odhran’s medical supplies and so on. Jack and Jill are not just a lifeline to us a family but also to Odhrans quality of life by being able to keep him at home and safe in through this pandemic.
Due to COVID-19 fundraising has been hugely impacted and as part of our gratitude to the support they have provided myself & Jonny over the years, Woodland Motor Co wants to give back. - Aly
