Charity Support

Juvenile Arthritis is a disease which occurs when the bodies immune system attacks itself and therefore differs to adult onset Arthritis. There is currently no known cause and no cure.

iCAN is a parent-run network providing support, information and advocating for best care for those affected by Juvenile Arthritis. iCAN is 100% volunteer based and run by parents of children with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). No one takes a Salary from iCAN – 100% funds by iCAN raised go towards making things better for kids with Arthritis in Ireland!

When Mairead from iCAN got in touch to tell us about the fundraising event they were running last Saturday, we were more than happy to donate boxes of Chicken Goujons to feed the 25/30 Children involved in the Croghan Hill Challenge.

Here's a photo of Mairead with her little daughter Meghan.  Meghan who is 4 has Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis since the age of 22 months.

These Nellcor Oxygen Centres are one of the many vital pieces of equipment LauraLynn needs on a daily basis to provide medical care to our children.

They allow our carers to constantly monitor the oxygen levels and heart rate of the children in our care, through an adhesive probe on their finger to ensure both are always maintained at the right level.

Rosie & Jim has kindly sponsored of these for 10 months for LauraLynn House, our palliative care unit.

Rosie and Jim are happy to announce that we are going to donate boxes of our Chicken Products every week to the Ronald McDonal House Charities.

Ronald McDonald House Charities

The Ronald McDonald House provides accommodation care and support for 20 families every night while their seriously ill children are inpatient or receiving care in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital.

The House enables families to stay together so that they can be with their sick child at what is a very traumatic time for them all.

The first,16 bedroom, Ronald McDonald House is situated on the grounds of Our Lady’s Hospital and our smaller 4 bedroom House is directly across the road at St Mary’s Drive.

Many families travel far from home to get treatment for their seriously ill or injured children. Often, it can be a long time to be away from home, or to divide a family. For children facing a serious medical crisis, nothing seems scarier than not having their mum and dad close by for love and support.  Ronald McDonald House program provides a Home for families so they can stay close by their hospitalised child at very little cost.  The House works on the simple idea that nothing else should matter when a family is focused on healing their child – not where they can afford to stay, where they will get their next meal or where they will lay their head at night to rest.

Our Family Fun Day took place in August again this year – a day for all our families to come together and celebrate in LauraLynn. It is one of the most special days here in our children’s hospice.

This year our theme was Superheroes and Princesses, with some amazing costumes on the day from kids and adults alike!

After the overwhelming success of this event last year, Rosie & Jim generously sponsored this event for us again, ensuring we could make this fabulous day possible for all our families.

Rosie & Jim donate €200 to the Suzanne Tully benefit night.

Not all of our charity and community contributions are for organisations or well established charities. Sometimes we are approached by a small group who are affected by a big loss or cause.

Suzanne Tully sadly passed away very suddenly on September 28th aged only 40. She was a mother, daughter, partner and friend.

Her friends have organised a remembrance benefit night to celebrate Suzanne's life and try and support her partner and two children and got in touch with us.

We were happy to be able to donate €200 for this worthy cause.

Rosie & Jim donated €1000 to the Fisherstown Tractor Run yesterday, July 1st. 

The annual charity event which was held in Fisherstown on Sunday afternoon and started and finished at the Fisherman’s Thatched Inn.

A huge number of farmers from near and far took part in driving a convoy on a route around the area.

With the sunny weather, everyone soaked up the atmosphere with entertainment for all the family throughout the day.

The event was in aid of Cancer Reseach.
