Robert Hobbs fundraising for The Gavin Glynn Foundation
My cousin's daughter Ada is 4-years-old. In June this year, Ada was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer. The treatment that Ada needs is specialist and is not available in Ireland. Ada and her family have to travel to Birmingham Children's Hospital at least once a month to get life-saving chemotherapy. The Gavin Glynn Foundation have been an immense support for them during this very difficult time organising and paying for flights and expenses and having Aer Lingus staff on side to guide them through the airport. I am doing Dublin City Marathon to support Ada and this amazing charity
About The Gavin Glynn Foundation
The mission of The Gavin Glynn Foundation is to assist families battling childhood cancer in Ireland with all the logistical and financial aspects of travelling overseas for specialist cancer treatment not available in Ireland.
We are the only registered charity in Ireland providing this support to families battling childhood cancer.
The Gavin Glynn Foundation arrange all logistics and cover all costs associated with:
• Transportation (eg. Flights, Car Hire).
• Transportation to and from the designated Airports.
• Accommodation within, or close to, the designated medical centre.
• Food and living expenses for the duration of the child’s treatment while abroad.
By taking the financial burden and stress away from the families, it allows parents focus all their time on their child and family.
To date, with the support of the Foundation’s amazing supporters, The Gavin Glynn Foundation has been able to help 275 families from all over Ireland.
