What do our #CommunityHeroes say...?
Every year, a group of inspiring women take on the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon to raise much needed funds for Jack and Jill families. One such inspirational lady was Ann Little;
“My background is Neonatal nursing, so I have seen the impact on families of having a sick child. As a Jack and Jill nurse being able to give the family a well-deserved break & being able to look after the child at home is very rewarding. Knowing that I am making a difference to the family”.
– David Crimmins, CEO Webdoctor
– Team @BikeRowSki.

Jack and Jill family, Mike and Valerie McDonagh, together with their three children – Brandon, Michael and Krystle – walked from Tuam in Co. Galway to Knock in Co. Mayo in memory of baby Chelsie. Supported by family and friends along the way they raised much needed funds for families locally.
In September, the team from the Osprey Leisure Club hosted a SPINATHON to raise funds for Jack and Jill. Together the team and participants cycled 172km, great result and achievement from all who participated.
34 brave souls participated in the Abseil in Croke Park. On board with our Abseilers we had Dublin All Ireland Wining Heroes participating to name a few Paddy Andrews, Bernard Brogan, Bernard Brogan Snr, Paul Brogan and of course or Brand Ambassador Eamon Fennell. Jack and Jill Nurse Anne McLoughlin flew down the Abseil along with our Jack and Jill Mum Nina Fitzpatrick, they both equally made the Abseil look very easy. We also had a very strong competitive team on board from Permanent TSB.
