Crumlin Research Fund
“If the research hadn’t come before, we mightn’t have Charley now.” Dear Friends, To see her running about the garden now, you’d never guess that little Charley Pettersson spent some of her youngest days surrounded by tubes, her hair thinned by chemotherapy, her little body sick and weak. But that’s how life was back then; how it had to be – back when Charley was a patient here at Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin – with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia. Today Charley is 100% well – and bursting with fun ...
Crumlin Hospital Fund
He put it to me plainly:‘A third make it. A third don’t. A third need transplants.’ For the parent of a premature infant or child who becomes seriously unwell, the trauma, anxiety and emotion is overwhelming. Suddenly, your whole world narrows right in – on one precious, fragile life. For the next few weeks – and for some families it can be months and even years – so much of your time will be spent away from your normal, homely surroundings. Just when your frail child most needs the soothing sanctuary of home – your beautiful baby now has ...

Let me tell you about the Woodwards – a truly remarkable family.

And demanding for their children’s futures. Their battle goes on. Two of their three children have Cystic Fibrosis – commonly known as CF – a life-shortening and difficult ...
Make Dreams True This Christmas
The ambulance has just brought in Catherine. She is in real distress. Catherine is a nine year-old Cystic Fibrosis patient with suspected life-threatening pneumonia. Meanwhile tiny, premature Jill is under 24-hour observation in Intensive Care – she was born with only half of her heart functioning.

Julie Wren Fund
Julie wasn’t a cancer victim. She was a healing champion Julie Wren was a truly special young citizen and beautiful little girl who gave generously and cared for others in a way that was far more profound than her young age ever suggested. In her tragically short life, she demonstrated that it is possible to change the world in small but powerful and loving ways. The Trust her mam established in her name, and in memory of Julie’s father Johnnie, is discretionary but is having a hugely positive and powerful effect on the lives and recovery of so many other young citizens through ...

St Michael's & St John's Appeal
We urgently need to refurbish and re-equip two of our most-critical wards.
