Rosie & Jim have donated €50 to Cancer Fund for Children.
Cancer Fund for Children was founded in 1973 by Margaret McAlpine MBE, a teacher who had been recruited to provide continuity to children’s education whilst they were receiving treatment on the wards at Belvoir Park Hospital in Belfast, following a diagnosis of cancer.
Over the next ten years, Margaret recruited a range of volunteers, including consultant oncologist Dr George Edelstein, to form a Charity Board to help deliver a range of practical and financial support to families.
This developed into residential support with the purchase of Shimna Valley House in Co Down in 1996. Aided by funds from the National Lottery, and opened by local celebrity Patrick Kielty, Cancer Fund for Children’s Shimna Valley House offered families nursing a sick child a place of tranquillity, far removed from the stress of the hospital wards – and was the fore-runner of the unique Daisy Lodge, which was opened in 2014 and stands on the same site today.
"We understand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis and its treatment has and are here to support the whole family so they don’t have to face cancer alone."

About Aoibheann’s Pink Tie
Aoibheann’s Pink Tie was set up in 2010 after Jimmy Norman’s daughter, Aoibheann, passed away. During their long battle with cancer, Jimmy met with a lot of parents going through the trauma of having a child with cancer, and more specifically identified with the financial burden that inevitably follows diagnosis. They are registered with the Irish Cancer Society and affiliated with St. John’s Oncology Ward in Crumlin Hospital. Olympic gold medal champion Katie Taylor is their charity ambassador.
So what does Aoibheann’s Pink Tie do? They provide financial and practical help to those families in need of it. This will hopefully allow the families the ability to focus on their child and working through their illness. Families are often lost in the mix when their children go through this battle, but it’s not just the child that gets cancer, it’s the whole family as each is affected and must struggle.
Aoibheann’s Pink Tie raise funds through various events and fundraisers and use this to support families who are recommended to by the senior social worker in St. John’s Ward Crumlin Hospital.

We're excited to share a glimpse into the life of Pepe, one of the charming Irish Guide Dogs puppies sponsored by Rosie & Jim! With his puppy raiser, Jacqui, in Rathfarnham, Pepe is truly 'flying it' in his training.
Under the guidance of Jacqui, one of the most experienced puppy raisers with Irish Guide Dogs, Pepe is making remarkable progress. His adventures have taken him to local shops, parks, and supermarkets, and he's handling all these new experiences with impressive ease and confidence.
Jacqui shares, "Pepe is taking everything in his stride ". It's wonderful to see how adaptable and eager he is, whether he's exploring the bustling aisles of a supermarket or enjoying the tranquility of the park.
Every day is a new opportunity for learning and growth for Pepe, and his enthusiastic approach to his training is truly inspiring.
See Pepe on his adventures around Rathfarnham. His journey is not just about becoming a guide dog; it's about growing into a confident, well-rounded companion ready to make a life-changing difference.
Join us in cheering on Pepe as he continues his journey with Jacqui. We're so proud to support his development and grateful for the dedication of puppy raisers like Jacqui.
