31 days. 5km each day. One great cause.

Throughout July, Ben Rossiter laced up his runners every day and completed 5km to raise funds for Children’s Health Foundation. 💙

It’s not the first time Ben has taken on the challenge. Back in February 2021, he ran 5km every day for the month, completing 100km and raising an incredible €1,800 for the charity.

For Ben, it’s simply about giving something back. Every donation, big or small, will help support the important work of Children’s Health Foundation.

A brilliant effort, Ben – and a great example of how one personal challenge can make a difference. 👏

After five days in ICU, Lucy returned to the ward and finally went home exactly one month after she was born.

Today, Lucy is nearly three years old and loves tractors, feeding the sheep, jumping in puddles and being the best big sister to Shay.

These are the moments her parents once feared they might never have.

Every family deserves moments like these. No matter the amount, every donation helps give sick children the very best chance. Donate today.

Thanks to the incredible generosity of everyone who has given up their time to visit sick children across Children’s Health Ireland hospitals this summer. ❤️

We’re incredibly grateful to the athletes, ambassadors and supporters who have given their time to meet patients and families throughout the year.

These visits bring moments of connection, encouragement and joy to children and families in hospital, and remind them of the community supporting them.

A huge thank you to everyone who continues to make these special moments possible.

Just when Nathalie and Máirtín thought the worst might be over, Lucy's breathing didn't improve.

At just three weeks old, she underwent open-heart surgery.

"She didn't go down on a trolley. We carried her down in our arms because everyone knew the normal rules didn't apply."

Hours later, Lucy's surgeon returned with the words they had been desperately hoping to hear:

"That job is done. Everything's sorted. Full repair."

Your support helps fund life-saving equipment, pioneering paediatric research and vital family support services—helping more children and families when they need it most.

Donate today and help change another child's story.

Yesterday, we were delighted to welcome the All-Ireland champions to CHI at Temple Street.

But what did the visit mean to them?

🎥 Hear Méabh Cahalane reflect on spending time with our patients, families and staff, and why sharing the O'Duffy Cup at CHI at Temple Street was such a special part of the celebrations.

Thank you once again to the Cork team for taking the time to create such special memories for our hospital community.

No better way to start a Monday morning!⭐

We were delighted to welcome Cork's All-Ireland Senior Camogie team to CHI at Temple Street.

Patients, families, and colleagues were thrilled to meet the team, who generously spent time chatting with patients, sharing words of encouragement and resilience, and talking about their journey to success. They signed jerseys, posed for photos, and brought smiles to so many faces throughout the hospital.

It was a truly special morning, creating memories that will last a lifetime.❤️

A huge thank you to the Women's team for taking the time to visit and brighten the day for everyone at CHI at Temple Street. We wish you continued success in the future!

"We set out to raise €2,000... and ended up raising €11,750."

Last year, Rob took on the Dublin Marathon to say thank you.

His son Liam was born with bilateral talipes (clubfoot) and has been under the care of the team at CHI at Temple Street since he was a baby. After years of treatment, surgery and physiotherapy, Liam is now getting ready to start school.

Wanting to give something back, Rob signed up to run the Dublin Marathon for Children's Health Foundation.

The support from family, friends and the Dunderry community was incredible, helping him raise €11,750.

"There are times when you're out training in the wind and rain," Rob says. "What keeps you going is the kids and knowing why you're doing it."

We're so grateful to Rob and everyone who supported his fundraising.

If you've ever thought about running the Dublin Marathon, now's your chance. Join Team Children's Health Foundation and help support more children like Liam.

When a baby is born sick or too soon, feeding them isn't always straightforward.

Instead of taking their baby home, many mums spend weeks or months in hospital expressing milk every 2–3 hours to make sure it's there when their baby is ready.

This World Breastfeeding Week, we're saying thank you to everyone who has helped make that little bit easier.

Thanks to your support, Breastfeeding Starter Kits are being given to families in the neonatal, intensive care and cardiac units at CHI at Crumlin and Temple Street. Each kit contains practical essentials to help mums get started, along with information and support when they need it most.

Since 2025
-360 kits have already been given to families
-Around 30 kits are now provided every month
-1,100 kits will be distributed over the next two years

For some of Ireland's tiniest patients, breast milk can play a vital role in helping them grow stronger and recover.

Thank you for being part of that journey.
