Three years in Crumlin. Now, giving back.
As a child, Darragh spent three years in Crumlin Children’s Hospital. During that time, the hospital became a second home to him and his family.
Years later, that experience has inspired something very special.
Together with his sisters, Rachel and Eimear, Darragh has turned his family’s connection to the hospital into an incredible fundraising journey. They hosted two nights of darts and quiz fundraisers in Waterford before taking on their biggest challenge yet – a skydive.
Together, they raised €8,290 for St John’s Ward.
Their story is a beautiful example of how care received during childhood can inspire generosity years later.
And it’s people like Darragh, Rachel and Eimear – alongside caring supporters like you – who help ensure other children and families can continue to feel supported during their own hospital journeys.
Thank you for turning your experience into something so generous.
