Charity Support

Rosie & Jim are proud to sponsor the Make-A-Wish Children's Charity.

Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children aged 3-17 battling life-threatening illnesses such as Leukaemia, Cystic Fibrosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, brain tumours, heart conditions and many more. They have granted over 1,700 wishes since 1992.

Wish children have suffered more than any child should and deserve to be granted their special wish as a reward for battling their illness. They desperately need a break from the routine of hospitals, injections and treatments. Testimonials show the power of a wish and the uplifting affect it can have on a family.

Make-A-Wish does not receive any government funding – they rely completely on the generosity and support of people and organisations who partner with them. At the moment, they have over 200 children on their waiting list and receive a large number of applications each month.

Support of Rosie & Jim

Make-A-Wish is very grateful to have the support of Rosie & Jim this year to fund a sensory bedroom wish for a very brave child. Sensory bedrooms have a long-lasting impact and bring with them significant medical benefits for the wish child. They enhance the quality of life for wish children for the time they have left. Sensory bedrooms can be an expensive wish and their ability to grant these wishes can be very much dependent on funding. It is thanks to the generosity of Rosie & Jim that we can transform the life of one of our wish children this year.

We are humbled to share that Rosie & Jim have donated €1000 to UNICEF's "Get a Vaccine, Give a Vaccine" campaign.

If you are able please donate to this vital cause.

https://www.unicef.ie/

In making this act of solidarity with somebody who does not have access to vaccines, you are not just doing the right thing by one person, but you are also making the world a safer place. To quote Liam Neeson in his video ''Scientists tell us nobody is safe until everybody is safe''

Rosie & Jim have donated €500 to the annual Musgrave Triathlon fundraiser. This year it's a bit different.

The Musgrave Triathalon has helped raise a staggering €4.8 million for a number of charities. In 2019 they raised €220,000. They distributed these funds by giving €140,000 to Breakthrough Cancer Research to fund another Musgrave Cancer Research 3-year PHD Scholarship with the aim to improve cancer care and increase survival rates. €40,000 to AsIAm to employ a community support officer to provide one to one advice and guidance to the autism community. It also funded a series of events, across the country addressing issues which the community support officer identifies are common trends and challenges for the community. €40,000 to Focus Ireland, which were used to help 45 young people leaving state care to access the support, skills, education and develop the confidence they need to live independently.

As we all know well 2020 has been a year unlike any other we have ever encountered and through this pandemic charities have been one of those areas that have been hit hard. So, for 2020 they are doing something a little different - the “Musgrave Triathlon…. That’s not a triathlon” Virtual event. The chosen charity is Breakthrough Cancer Research.

For the month of November they will run the “Musgrave Triathlon…. that’s not a Triathlon” for colleagues, retailers and suppliers of Musgraves. The event has a range of activities that you can chose from and the aim is to complete them over the month of November. You can sign up for 50km or 100km and your activity can be swimming, cycling, running, walking etc. how you build up your kilometers is up to you. There is also an option to do activity hours of 15 or 30 hours and this can be for aerobic classes, yoga, spinning or gym work. Finally, there is an option to sign up to challenges which will be set for the month and weekly videos distributed these will include, toning, aerobic and yoga challenges.

Keep in touch with their website for more details. http://musgrave-triathlon.com
