We were so excited to welcome our Rory’s Miles to Mayo team to Daisy Lodge for our first team day! 🙌

Led by Rory Best, this September, this incredible group of business leaders from across the island of Ireland will tackle nine marathons in nine days to raise vital funds in aid of children and young people impacted by cancer. Together they will walk over 50,000 steps daily, putting their physical and mental endurance to the test to help ensure no child faces cancer alone 💛

It was great to bring this group together for the first time, to connect with each other and to share details of the challenge and how we will work together, to ensure we make the biggest impact. Rory also shared some words of wisdom, focusing on the lessons he has learned from his previous Rory’s Miles to Mayo challenges.

✨ What a team. What a day. What a challenge.

📍 Community Update in Cong, Co. Mayo

Last week, we were delighted to host an Information Evening at The Crossroads Community Centre, Cong, sharing updates on the construction of Daisy Lodge, Co. Mayo.

The event gave local residents and stakeholders an insight into the progress of this purpose-built facility, which will provide vital support to children, young people and families impacted by cancer across the island of Ireland. It also offered a valuable opportunity for attendees to ask questions and share their thoughts on the project.

Attendees heard directly from build contractors Connolly & Fee Ltd, and Raph, Residential Services Manager at our existing Daisy Lodge in Co. Down, who spoke about the real difference short breaks make to families.

Preparation of the 30,000 square foot site began in 2024 and full construction commenced in summer 2025. Due to open in early 2027, Daisy Lodge, Co. Mayo will be a special place where children and their families can make memories, and have precious time to rest, reconnect and rebuild💛
