Hi all, thank you so much to everyone who has been so generous in their sponsorship of St Gabriels and LauraLynn. We are a third of the way towards our target after the first week of fundraising and we will keep striving to hit the target. Feel free to share the link and if you would like to join us in doing the run on the day let us know. We will keep pushing this right up until the day of the race and beyond. Thank you from all of us here in Park Lodge
Park Lodge Medical Centre fundraising for LauraLynn Children's Hospice and St. Gabriel's Foundation
At Park Lodge we are coming together to fundraise for two fantastic causes that are close to our heart. Matthew Lane is the son of two of our GPs in the practice Alison and Ger Lane, and he receives amazing support from these organisations. St Gabriel's Foundation provides an educational, therapies and respite role to children with significant disabilities in the Mid-West Region. LauraLynn is Ireland's only Children's Hospice providing hospice and palliative care and support for children with life limiting conditions and their families from all across Ireland. They recently set up a Community Team in Mallow, Co Cork which provides home based supports for children and families across Cork, Kerry and Limerick. This team works collaboratively with services that already exist in the region. Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Your support is really appreciated. You can share our page on social media platforms using the social sharing sections. Thanks again. Park Lodge
LauraLynn Children's Hospice
LauraLynn is Ireland's only Children's Hospice, marking 13 years of providing palliative care and support for children with life limiting conditions and their families from all across Ireland. LauraLynn provides symptom management, planned short breaks, emergency and end-of-life care, as well as family supports and bereavement care. Care can be delivered in our purpose-built hospice in Dublin, at hospital, in the community, or in the family home. The LauraLynn in the Community Team provides care and supports in the family home in the Leinster region, as well as a Cork-based team across Cork, Kerry and Limerick and a base in Ballinasloe providing care in the Midlands, West and Northwest. Since opening in 2011, LauraLynn has cared for over 751 families including parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents. LauraLynn care is provided completely free of charge to families and relies primarily on fundraised income to fund its hospice services. Thank you for your kind support.
St. Gabriel's Foundation
St. Gabriel's provide a range of specialist services and therapy interventions for 1400 children with disabilities in the Midwest. 64 children with profound physical disabilities attend a special school onsite. St. Gabriel's also provide hydrotherapy and orthotic services to children with disabilities and to people in the wider community. A recent addition to our services is a beautiful purpose designed Children's Respite House at Mungret. The house caters for overnight respite needs of children with significant physical disabilities and associated complex medical needs. These are very vulnerable children who have multiple diagnosis, cerebral palsy, developmental disorder and profound learning disability. Some of the children also have life-limiting conditions. Fundraising plays a major part in providing much needed funds to help support our work and improve the quality of life for children with disabilities. Thank you to all our donors for their generosity.
