Rosie & Jim recently sponsored a Gold Classic in aid of There's Something About Mary O. The fundraiser was to help Mary and her family access the best possible cancer treatment not available in Northern Ireland.

Mary is a vibrant member of the Cullyhanna community in Armagh. Both herself and her husband Gerard are great characters and well loved within their local communities. They have regularly fundraised for charitable organisations and therefore their family and friends have set up this non-profit organisation.

In May 2015 Mary was diagnosed on her 42nd birthday with Breast Cancer. Mary remained extremely positive throughout her chemotherapy and surgery, many call her an inspiration! Mary was just returning to normality when again on her next birthday she received the dreaded news that her cancer had spread to her liver. Mary is currently receiving eighteen weeks of full body chemotherapy and long term monoclonal antibody treatment. Unfortunately side effects such as extreme tiredness, mouth ulcers, nausea and hair loss are now taking its toll on Mary and her family.

Mary and Gerard are parents to six children ranging from four up to thirteen years. However they are no strangers to heartache after losing their baby to a congenital heart defect in 2006. Baby Eoin joined the other angels in heaven just after two days old. Throughout all this heartache the couple are hugely positive and are truly inspirational people. They are best friends and have recently celebrated their 21st Wedding Anniversary.

This Young, Vibrant Lady deserves the best of care and treatment to return her to better, if not long term improved health. The fundraising will help to cover costs of alternative remedies and further treatment unavailable locally and not routinely covered by NHS.

Rosie & Jim are delighted to have the opportunity to sponsor such a great cause.

Rosie & Jim are thrilled and humbled to sponsor Make A Wish Ireland in making Eimear's wish of having a Safety Sleeper come true.

Eimear's mum Fiona, sent in a lovely letter explaining how much this would improve Eimear's life.

We are so grateful as a family to get the safety sleeper gifted to Eimear as it especially changes holidays for us as family. Since getting the safety sleeper we can now like any other family decide to go on holidays, and we have gone during the summer and just last weekend, and Eimear has slept and enjoyed the holidays as much. As life can be very busy for us and challenging at times it is great for us and especially Eimear and her siblings to get away for a break. Now that we have the safety sleeper it gives us a new peace of mind and the option of a holiday.

Angelman Syndrome means that Eimear has severe complex needs, including sleep disturbances, sensory processing disorder, epilepsy, non verbal, short attention, no sense of danger/lack of sense of security. So for safety reasons she requires an enclosed bed.

Thanks for the lovely letter Fiona, Dermot, Alannah, Eimear and Jason.

We wish you many happy night's sleep in the new Safety Sleeper Eimear and hope you get to try it out on holiday soon :)

An update from Percy's puppy raiser, Eva, has us beaming with pride! Percy, the goodest boy, is thriving at five months old.
He's a natural on the lead, with perfect walking manners and a recall that's spot-on!
Percy's formed strong bonds with IGD brood dog Bella and their pet cat, enjoying cozy snooze sessions in the evenings.
Despite a tough bout with a tummy bug before Christmas, Percy's bounced back stronger than ever.  He's a true softy at heart, melting hearts with his love for cuddles.
Here's to Percy's continued growth and cuddle-filled adventures!

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.  

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!
