Story

Our daughter, Emily, has been battling a complex neurological condition for the last 2 years. She has resistant daily seizures and developmental delays. 

Jack and Jill have been a tremendous support to Emily and our entire family throughout the last 18 months. They have given us the gift of time to spend with our twins, to rest or to even get the dinner cooked while knowing Emily is being cared for by the most amazing, kind-hearted and selfless nurses. They are truly invaluable to our family. 

Not only does Jack and Jill provide care for Emily but the foundation has been a huge support to us as parents. Our liaison nurse has spent endless hours just talking to us, being our crutch and working behind the scenes to get many things in place for Emily. We are very grateful to her for the work she does for our daughter and every child under her care. 

Having a child with complex needs is certainly an uphill battle everyday but Jack and Jill helps to make that climb easier for us all. 

So, as a thank you and to do our part in raising much needed funds for this wonderful foundation, our family will climb a small hill during October 2022. We will walk together to support our daughter and all of the little warriors under Jack and Jill’s wing. 

Your support would be greatly appreciated!

Niall, Liz, Niall, Eve and Emily
