The Winter Wonderland (which has been running since 1995) was a resounding success, with in excess of 200 happy and mesmerized sick children attending, we were delighted we could make it a day to remember.
Unfortunately one group had to cancel and it gave us the opportunity to slot in Conor and extended family for an amazing Christmas Party, which was sponsored this year by Dunnes Stores.
All the children and adults were entertained by Santa and Elves to a stage show, this is something we intend to incorporate each year into the Winter Wonderland.
Everybody has the amazing Rebecca Daly and Family (See photos below) to thank for raising the funding of €5,000 to cover the basic running cost of the Winter Wonderland.
You may remember we did a special for Rebecca’s 14th birthday -
