CUH Charity

You can't stop Kannan Natchimuthu. 🏃🎾 The CUMH Occupational Therapist has been going above and beyond this year. On top of doing his best to help everyone who comes to CUMH, Kannan has fundraised to improve services, facilities and equipment for CUMH NeoNatal through multiple events. His work with CUH Charity has seen him raise €4,129.67 by completing the London Marathon 2024 and sharing his love of tennis with CUH/CUMH staff by organising the first Tennis Charity Tournament, at Sunday's Well Tennis Club. Anyone who knows Kannan knows that he goes above and beyond and we are very grateful for the work he has done for the charity. Thank you Kannan!!! ⭐ #ThankYou #CUMH #CUHCharity #LondonMarathon #NeoNatal #TennisCharityTournament #CharityWork

A moment to remember, as Caitriona Moriarty crosses the finish line carrying her daughter Sophie. 🏃♀️👩🍼 Caitriona was admitted to CUMH at 24 weeks pregnant, fearing that she may give birth that day. Luckily, she held on for another 5 weeks before Sophie was born at 29 weeks. Sophie's journey began with a stay in CUMH NICU for 2 weeks and a week in the Neonatal being cared for by staff, before transferring to Tralee and finally home with mum Caitriona and dad John Luke to meet her big sisters Chloe & Millie and her big brother Jack. In June Caitriona took part in the Run Killarney 10K & Half Marathon 2024, accompanied by her brother Vinny, sister Geraldine and friends Trish, Nora and Edel, running along side to support. The family and friends fundraising efforts saw them present CUMH staff with a cheque for over €10,000. The family wanting to thank the staff in person for the excellent care they were given during their time there. Thank you to the family, friends and everyone who supported them on their journey. #CUMH #NICU #Neonatal #RunKillarney #Gratitude

A landmark moment for the Three Johnnies. Since collecting their first plastic bottle back in April, we never could have guessed what it would lead to. To date, the Johnnies have returned 50,000 water bottles & cans and donated €7,500 to support vital services in CUH. Implementing designated return bins throughout campus, staff, patients and visitors have supported them immensely on their mission to return every bottle. They have accomplished so much in a short period of time and improved waste disposal through the campus.

Kristy, Grace & Kate Kirwan visited the office to present their cheque for CUH Neurology, specifically in aid of Chiari Malformation. They, along with family members Tracy and Paul took part in the Great Limerick Run in May. 🏃♂️🏃♀️ Chiari malformation is a condition in which a part of the brain (the cerebellum) at the back of the skull bulges through a normal opening in the skull where it joins the spinal canal. The family have been amazing since first arriving at CUH and we are delighted for their success. Thank you to everyone who helped them achieve their goal and helped to support Kate's journey. #ThankYou #ChiariMalformation #GreatLimerickRun #NeurologyAwareness #CharityRun Cork University Hospitals Group
