On the 13th June last year (2023) my dad Eamonn Hogan was stung by a wasp and unbeknown to him, had a severe allergy which caused him to go into anaphylactic shock. My sister Alex used dad’s phone to call family and was soon connected via 999, to ambulance control who stayed on the line and dispatched an emergency ambulance and the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) team by air ambulance. As a result of the efforts from Alex, by standers, and the air ambulance, we were able to say our goodbyes to our dad in hospital and he died 2 days later on the 15th.

We would like to fundraise in memory of my dad for this incredible charity who provided us our precious last hours with him. We would also like to highlight the importance of carrying an epi-pen if you have any known allergies.

Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

The Hogan family
