We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Jack Freeney, an incredible young man who inspired everyone he met to never let life stop you.

Jack and his father, Paddy, first knocked on our door when in for their check-ups with CUH Neurosurgery services. We were asked to be involved with their fundraising efforts. Movember and a massive cycle through Limerick was organised, accompanied and supported by Paddy's workplace, Wyeth and Bruff Rugby Club: their home away from home, where Jack was the captain of his team.

Every time they knocked on our office door, we were delighted to hear about the mad chats the two would have on the road up and down from Limerick to CUH. Jack and Paddy were an incredible duo, and weโ€™re so grateful for the energy and positivity they brought to all of our meetings, before, during, and after the Askeaton Cycle.

Jack will always be a part of CUH Charity. His efforts will benefit the Neurosurgery department for years to come. We will never forget what he did for us.

Our heart goes out to Jackโ€™s family, his friends, his club, and all those who knew him. We are all sharing the loss of such an incredible young man.

The show is over, but the work continues, 24/7, 365! ๐Ÿฅ

Last night we watched the final episode of 'Any Given Day' on RTร‰ One. We saw amazing procedures, emotional moments and incredible acts of care and compassion. A powerful reminder that the work happening across Cork University Hospital is not the stuff of movies but everyday life in the hospital.

The work continues, and your donation means the best chance for anyone who comes through the doors of the hospital on any given day. https://www.cuhcharity.ie/donate-page/

Last night, on 'Any Given Day' RTร‰, we saw a mother and son attend the Children's E.D. ๐Ÿฅ with an ongoing case of breathing issues. We heard of the struggle a parent goes through when their child needs medical attention and the anxiety it brings. With your support, we can ease that burden.

We are so proud to have helped develop the Children's E.D., a space seperate from the adults' E.D., where children can be seen for major trauma, broken bones, high temperatures, mental health issues, acute illness and so much more!

Cancer changes livesโ€ฆ unless it never starts.

The fear of hereditary risk can last for years, but CUHโ€™s Professor Mark Corrigan is leading Ireland's first Cancer Prevention Programme that helps reduce the risk of developing certain cancers. Your donation has the power to protect a life from cancer.

If you have seen Episode 3 of RTร‰โ€™s โ€˜Any Given Dayโ€™, you have seen Professor Mark Corrigan discuss prevention. Up to 40% of cancers are preventable, and even when cancer does occur, early prevention steps improve survival and treatment outcomes.

More than surgery, a complete Prevention Programme.
This programme brings together expert care in one clear, coordinated pathway:

โ€ข Early risk assessment by specialist nurses and genetic experts
โ€ข Rapid genetic testing, reducing waiting times from 2 โ€“ 4 years to just 6 โ€“ 8 weeks
โ€ข Clear, personalised information, empowering people to decide whatโ€™s right for them
โ€ข Access to world-class specialists, including radiologists, breast cancer and gynaecological surgeons, and plastic reconstruction experts
โ€ข One-to-one psychological support, so no one faces life-changing decisions alone
โ€ข Protected theatre time, ensuring surgery is available when it is genuinely needed
โ€ข Easing pressure on the national system, delivering faster answers and earlier action for patients

This is possible because of the collective support from the patients & families, healthcare professionals, the HSE, NCCP and the generosity of CUH Charity supporters and the wider community. We are all in this together, and doing nothing is how cancer wins.

Your donation means more than you know...
Itโ€™s estimated that roughly every 100k spent on this type of programme can approximately
โ€ข Prevent 4 cancers
โ€ข Prevent 1 death
โ€ข Save the state 500k to be used elsewhere
Preventing cancer doesn't just save money, it saves lives, futures and families.

โ€œI have no doubt that there are people alive in our community because of the direct impact of CUH Charityโ€ - Professor Mark Corrigan.
