Big thanks to Cork GAA and their sponsors Sports Direct for giving St Anne’s Ward (Kids Ward) a signed Cork GAA Jersey.
16 year old Lee Gibson from Carrigaline and 3 year old Shay Mulhare from Fairhill both patients were delighted to accept it and Cork GAA got the thumbs up.
Staff nurses Aisling Cotter, Eilish McKenzie, Noreen Crowley & Clare Curtin (not all Cork natives 😊) will make sure it gets a prominent spot.

The Brown family from Ballincollig set out to walk 300,000 steps in the month of February in memory of Ian Brown who sadly passed away at the begining of this year. The extended family had clocked up over 8 million steps and raised a phenomenal €24,500 for the Mercy Cancer Appeal.
The funds raised by the Brown family will help many patients and their families being treated in the Mercy Hospital. So far, the funds have been used in the brand-new St. Therese’s Oncology Day Unit in the Lee Clinic to purchase two mobile oncology recliner chairs. These chairs will help to provide maximum comfort and greater mobility for patients and will help to make an incredibly difficult time a little bit easier.
Dr. Derek Power, Consultant Medical Oncologist at the Mercy has said, ‘This new unit includes 16 private treatment spaces with separate triage and isolation areas, offering patients more privacy and space. Its location away from the main hospital, but virtually connected to it, mirrors how some of the top international oncology services are run. We would like to thank the Brown family for the funds they have raised to purchase two new recliner chairs for the unit."
Fantastic performance in very trying circumstances, well done all round.
Well done Roy, Carol, Chloe and Niall on a great achievement. 💕

We were delighted to be present with a cheque for an amazing €6,600 for the Mercy Cancer Appeal. Presenting the cheque was Tim Marshall, his mom Eleanor Marshall and daughter Abby Mae.
Tim took part in the Mercy 300,000 steps challenge last February in memory of his dad John 'The Sheriff' Marshall who sadly passed away last November. During the challenge, Tim decided to challenge himself further and ended up completing over a million steps across the month of February.
We would like to say a huge 'Well Done' to Tim for such an outstanding achievement and a huge 'Thank you' to Tim, his family, including his mom Eleanor and daughter Abby Mae, and his friends who helped, encouraged and supported Tim during the challenge and his fundraiser.
Well done Tim.
Excellent achievement well done Tim👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
