Just under two years ago now my daughter underwent life-changing spinal surgery in Temple Street Children’s Hospital to remove a tumour found on her spinal after we noticed she completely lost all power in her left arm. It was the scariest time of our lives — but the care, support, and dedication from the surgeons and every single staff member for the 3 months we spent in there was nothing short of incredible. As you can see from this short video documenting the last two years or rehab & progress she is absolutely flying her recovery ❤️‍🩹 this is all thanks to the after care team and continued support form Temple Street Children’s Hosiptal. Now, as a way to give something back, I’ll be running the Dublin City Marathon in October to raise money for Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Here’s the thing I need a % of the funds raised by the end of this month which will secure my place along with an extension to press on and try reach the target I personally set of 10k. If you can, please donate and help me support this amazing hospital it would mean the world. Every donation, big or small, helps support the life-changing work this place does every day for sick children. Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Your support is really appreciated. If you can help me to promote this page, I would greatly appreciate it. You can share my page on any social media using the social sharing sections. Thanks again!
