Daisy Lodge Co. Mayo
We have provided short breaks to families from the Republic of Ireland in Daisy Lodge, Co. Down for over five years. It is our vision to build and open a second therapeutic short break centre for children with cancer and their families in the Republic of Ireland so that no child has to face cancer alone.
13 year-old Maggie from Randalstown shared her story with us and why she is supporting Cancer Fund for Children and Rory Best in his Miles to Mayo campaign this September.
