Story

Welcome to our Abseil Challenge page.  On Sept 25th 2021 Kevin and I will walk along the roof of Croke Park and abseil from the Hogan Stand to raise vital funds for CHI Temple Street.  We are  taking part in this challenge to support the patients, families and staff across Children's Health Ireland hospitals.   Each and every day across CHI hospitals and urgent care centres in Connolly, Crumlin, Tallaght and Temple Street, sick children and their worried parents are coming through the doors in need of world-class paediatric care and treatment and we are one of those many parents.  Our gorgeous boy Harry  has been attending Temple Street Children's Hospital since he was just 6 days old.  His rare metabolic condition means that he will need lifelong medical care and Kevin and I are so grateful for the wonderful care and attention that Harry receives from our 2nd family,  CHI Temple Street  .Please donate what you can to help give every sick child every chance possible.  It is only when you experience first hand what it is like to have a sick child that is in need of lifelong medical care that you see the great work and dedication of the doctors , nurses and staff of CHI Temple Street.
