Charity Support

Susan O’Keeffe has Motor Neurone Disease, a progressive condition that affects how messages are sent to the muscles.  She can’t speak any more and has very limited mobility; she can type with one finger. Even though she has a very serious illness and is facing life’s end far too early, her focus is on helping others.  She has generously offered to help Our Lady’s Hospice & Care Services to raise funds for the build and fit-out of 36 new single, state-of-the-art, palliative care bedrooms at the Hospice in Harold’s Cross.  

We received a remarkable letter from Susan, telling us her amazing story, and the incredible benefit the Hospice at Blackrock is to her and other’s in a similar place to her.

We, at Rosie & Jim, were humbled to be able to donate €250 to the Hospice for these crucial building works.  

Rosie & Jim are pleased to sponsor €750 for the Ronald McDonald House Charities Ireland cycle jersey again this year.

Reach your fundraising target and you'll receive a bespoke finishers yellow jersey!

This is a beautiful cycle around Blessington Lakes in County Wicklow. You can select from 3 courses, a 25km which is easy for all family members to enjoy starting from The Avon Resort at the foot of the Wicklow Mountains. The 50km route lets you embrace nature by completing two loops of the lake. For a seasoned cyclist the 100km will provide more of a challenge with more undulations but still enjoying the stunning views and connecting with nature.

Some early photos of our sponsored puppies from the homes where they are being socialised. Normally this happens at HQ in Cork but with Covid restrictions and with the pups all being born in Kildare, it was felt it would be better to keep them close by and have volunteers help with their social skills. This is an extra step this year so some nice bonus images before they head to their puppy raisers in a few weeks’ time.

Melt your heart cuteness!

Rosie & Jim recently sponsored new maxislide sheets and tubes for the children in LauraLynn – Ireland’s Children’s Hospice. This flat sheet sliding system is essential to allow our carers to perform a wide range of handling manoeuvres for our children, simply and safely, removing risk of injury to both the child and the carer.

We needed a large selection of these in different shapes and sizes to enable safe manoeuvring of all our children.

Rosie & Jim sponsored the full order!
