Big Thanks To These Amazing People

Background orange banner VHI Mini Marathon 2023

“Had another amazing day again this year at the VHI Mini Marathon in aid of Jack and Jill. This was my sixth year doing the mini marathon in remembrance of our beloved son Isaac who gained his angel wings 6 and half years ago. Jack and Jill were were a godsend for 3 years so we know first hand the amazing work they do. I will be forever grateful to them and all the nurses for taking care of our BusterBoo a few hours every week. 💕”

Every year, a group of inspiring women take on the VHI Women’s Mini Marathon to raise much needed funds for Jack and Jill families. One such inspirational lady was Ann Little;
“My background is Neonatal nursing, so I have seen the impact on families of having a sick child. As a Jack and Jill nurse being able to give the family a well-deserved break & being able to look after the child at home is very rewarding. Knowing that I am making a difference to the family”.

It was very inspiring to hear that our run, walk and cycle efforts will provide 188 valuable hours of specialist home nursing care to the families they support.’’

34 brave souls participated in the Abseil in Croke Park. On board with our Abseilers we had Dublin All Ireland Wining Heroes participating to name a few Paddy Andrews, Bernard Brogan, Bernard Brogan Snr, Paul Brogan and of course or Brand Ambassador Eamon Fennell. Jack and Jill Nurse Anne McLoughlin flew down the Abseil along with our Jack and Jill Mum Nina Fitzpatrick, they both equally made the Abseil look very easy. We also had a very strong competitive team on board from Permanent TSB.
