My name is Eugene O’Leary. I am a 66 year old cyclist! ("The Pedaling Pensioner!")
My daughter, Helen was a patient of Our Lady’s, until she was eighteen years old. She died one year after leaving the care of the hospital (February 2002), and having her care transferred to an adult hospital.
In order to show some appreciation for the wonderful work done by the hospital in enabling my wife and I, together with her brothers and sisters to enjoy the gift of having “an angel” in our family for nineteen years, I started to do fundraising cycles for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, six years ago.
My ten year old grandson Dylan recently underwent chemotherapy treatment at the hospital and has made a complete recovery after removal of a tumour from behind his left eye. | Gender | | | | Male | | | | Last Active | Profile Views | | 1 week | 6609 times | | | Share the Luv | Relationship Status |  | 166 |

If you care for this hospital, come to our protest on Tuesday the 12th of May at 545 pm. The hse has told the hospital that it needs to cut costs, so what do they do they close down 3 wards the first on May the 14th and two more to follow in June and Augest. With the loss of two speciallists who do play theraphy also 14 staff with not have there contracts renewned. This is lunancy the HSE cannot put costs before our childrens welfare, so please coe and voice your anger. This madness has to stop
