A hotel in South Mayo is urging its local community to get behind Cancer Fund for Children’s Santa Cause campaign this Christmas to help support children and young people impacted by cancer across Ireland.
Cancer Fund for Children provides informal emotional, social and therapeutic support to children diagnosed with cancer and their families, at home, in hospital and at their therapeutic short break centre, Daisy Lodge. They are currently working to build a second Daisy Lodge on the shores of Lough Corrib in Cong, so they can be there for every family that needs them, in every county and every community.
Lydon’s Lodge Hotel has committed itself to supporting the charity’s Christmas campaign with owners Olga and Stephen Lydon explaining exactly why.
“This truly amazing charity benefits families who are impacted by childhood cancer and we feel it is a worthy cause. Monies raised also goes towards the building of Daisy Lodge Cong which will have a huge impact on families dealing with childhood cancer and we are proud to be a part of that.” Throughout the month of December, approximately 30 children and young people will be diagnosed with cancer across Ireland so it’s no surprise that Cancer Fund for Children is so grateful for the passionate and dedicate support like as from all the team at Lydon’s Lodge Hotel.
“We provide vital services to help ensure none of these children have to face this experience alone and we couldn’t do that without the incredible support of local businesses and the local community,” says Mairead Geehan, Partnership and Philanthropy Executive with Cancer Fund for Children.
“Getting involved in our Santa Cause campaign this festive season will help make such a difference in the lives of families impacted by childhood cancer.” The wider public can also can also get involved in this charity’s Santa Cause appeal by organising their own fundraising activity, like a coffee morning, festive jumper day or sponsored walk to help support children and young people impacted by cancer.
