A massive Thank You to Tracton GAA. Back in February, members of the club completed a tough climb - an ascent of 721m to the summit - of Slievenamon Co. Tipperary, to raise funds for our Cancer Appeal. ⛰
Club President Mr. Pat Walsh and members were delighted to present a cheque for an amazing €2,000 to Louise from the Mercy University Hospital Foundation recently.

It’s not every day a television legend is on hand to present a donation to our Kids+Teens Appeal. That’s exactly what happened on the August Bank Holiday weekend, when Ahakista Festival quiz host Graham Norton - along with organizer Eilis Hodnett - presented a cheque for €1,000 to Louise from the Mercy University Hospital Foundation from funds raised at their annual quiz.
The heavy rain did nothing to dampen the spirits of quiz participants and hundreds turned out to support the Mercy Hospital Foundation and others at this annual highlight.
We are so grateful to have been a beneficiary from this year’s event. The funds raised will help support the wonderful work of POONS – the Mercy Hospital’s unique Paediatric Oncology Outreach Nursing Service. For communities throughout the county, the option for young cancer patients to avail of nursing care and treatment from POONS with the familiarity of home, family and friends makes a huge difference to their experience.
Thank you again to Ahakista Community Association for your wonderful support 🙌

At their recent passing out ceremony, graduates from the 45th potential NCOs Irish Naval Service donated an amazing €7,300 to the Mercy Hospital Foundation Kids + Teens Appeal from fundraising they undertook during their training. Their fundraising culminated in a 33km march from Roches Point to Cobh in full uniform with their 14kg backpacks – what an accomplishment! 👏👏
Donations to the Mercy Hospital Foundation Kids + Teens Appeal support a range of services that improve outcomes for our youngest patients including the Mercy Hospital’s Paediatric Oncology Outreach Nursing Service which provides essential care at home for young cancer patients.
We cannot thank the members of this class enough for their generous donation and wish them all huge congratulations on their graduation.

It’s a week out from a momentous 🚶♀️Makeyourmarkoncancer Walk 🚶♂️– the blisters have faded and the legs have recovered! It was wonderful to have the walk back, fully in person with 280 walkers, and the great spirit of generosity shone through as always.
The organizing committee Eoin Prendergast, Fiona, Carol and Damien and their army of volunteers did a superb job getting everything in place to ensure a safe, well-run event from the Start line at the Viaduct Inn Cork to the well-deserved refreshments in Bandon Town Hall.
The efforts of every single person who participated in any capacity has helped raise vital funds for the Mercy Hospital Foundation Cancer Care Centre Appeal and we are so grateful to each and every one of you!
A special word of thanks to Acesigns the crew from Blood Bike South the Irish Red Cross Cork City Ambulance Service, the C103 Cork Street Fleet, and McCarthy Coaches and Killeady Cabs who generously donated their vehicles and time.
Huge congratulations to everyone and from the bottom of our hearts, Thank You 💚
