Story

Join our Holles Street Father's Day Cycle Challenge!

We need your support this June and are challenging you to cycle 100, 250 or 500 km in 30 days to raise vital funds for babies in The National Maternity Hospital.

Already this year by Father's Day, we will have had 500 tiny babies needing the specialist care of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in The National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street.

Stephen's son Morgan was born at 31 weeks weighing just 1.5 kg and needed to stay for 30 days in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Stephen says;

When Morgan was born nearly two months before his expected date, we were anxious about what was to come. He was our first child and we were already on edge that everything would turn out ok. The first time we both saw his little body inside the huge incubator we were taken aback. He seemed so fragile and tiny compared to some of the newborns in the room.

We soon learned however that he was far from one the smallest babies to have successfully passed through these wards.

Sign up today and create your fundraising page by clicking the orange button 'start fundraising' to raise vital funds to help babies arrive, survive and thrive.

Once you raise E100, you will receive a unique Holles Street cycle jersey as a special thank you for your support!

If you have any questions at all or want help with signing up, please reach out to Marjut on foundation@nmh.ie or 01 637 3372 and she'd be delighted to help you.
