4th.)
In aid of Our Lady's
Children's Hospital, Crumlin
About to depart Galway Docks for Howth, Co. Dublin
Think of a terminally ill child who will be spending long periods in Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin and think of the dedicated doctors and research staff who are giving that child's family the hope that that their child will survive, by working towards a cure for his/her illness.
Maybe you might also turn your thoughts to those men and women who give their time and effort to raising the much needed funding which allows this great work to continue.
Eugene O'Leary, whose daughter Helen was a patient of Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, for the greater part of her life, completed a 150 mile fundraising cycle on August Bank Holiday Monday 2008, from Galway to Howth (Atlantic to Irish Sea) thereby raising a substantial amount of funding for the Medical & Research Foundation of Our Lady's.
He departed from Galway docks at 8.45 a.m. and arrived at the East Pier, Howth, at 8.45 p.m.
Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, is one of the largest hospitals in the world devoted exclusively to children. There are approximately 100,000 child attendances at the hospital annually. It is the National Referral Centre for children who are suffering from serious illness such as, Cancer, Leukemia, Spina Bifida, and Cystic Fibrosis.
The Children's Research
Centre at the Hospital was founded in 1965. Since then, its contribution
to medical research has meant that our children can look forward to a
brighter future. Break-throughs have occurred in many areas of the Centre's
research to date, some of major consequences worldwide.
