Story

Welcome to our fundraising page set up to honour our beloved brother Paddy Fitzpatrick.At birth Paddy was diagnosed with a congenital heart condition. He received many years of care at the Children's Hospital, Crumlin. As an adult he then attended the Mater Hospital in Dublin. Over the years Paddy endured numerous operations and procedures.He chose to live his life to the full.He travelled extensively, camera in hand to many places Spain, Japan, Australia,Canada to name but a few.In 2019 Paddy received the news that his condition had deteriorated and his best chance of survival was to have a Heart and Lung Transplant.As with all  his challenges in life Paddy put on a brave face and kept smiling.He focussed his energy on his future and the dream he had of being there to see his two beautiful children grow up. In April 2021 Paddy was very fortunate to receive the call that a donor had been found.He was excited that he now had a chance for a new life.He fought bravely for many weeks but unfortunately Paddy lost his battle on May 3rd, 2021. 


We know we can never fully thank the Donor Family for their amazing gift or the Mater Hospital for their years of care. As a family we have decided to raise much needed funds for the Mater Foundation.
