Fresh from their first All-Ireland success in 75 years, the Mayo Senior Football Team shared their celebrations and brought many smiles today as they brought the Sam Maguire to Temple Street Children’s Hospital.

Players and management spent time meeting children and their families on the wards, posing for photos, signing jerseys, and sharing their championship winning memories. For many young patients who are unable to attend sporting occasions, these visits create unforgettable moments and a welcome distraction.

While the celebrations continue for Mayo around the county today, for children spending the summer in hospital, today's visit provided something just as important—a moment of joy and excitement during an incredibly difficult time for them and their family.

The special visit was organised by Children's Health Foundation, whose supporters help fund ground-breaking research, services and therapeutic supports that bring comfort, play and joy to sick children.
