Hi,
I'm taking part in a 150km Challenge for St. Vincent's Foundation for the month of April. I've chosen to fundraise for St. Vincent's Foundation as I was once a patient in St. Vincent's hospital.
I was in my final year in college in Galway in September 2016, when I contracted a virus, which for some reason that still remains unclear, caused acute liver failure.
I was rushed to UHG where doctors told my parents there was nothing they could do. They said that if I didn’t die that night, I would certainly need a liver transplant.
To that end, I was transported to St Vincent’s Hospital by ambulance the following day to undergo further tests. I was 22 when all this happened within the space of a few hours and, as you can imagine, I was extremely ill and frightened.
Thankfully, after a day or two my liver began to slowly respond to treatment, and in time I made a full recovery.
I often think of my time in St. Vincent's hospital and want to express my thanks in some small way by doing this challenge.
I will never forget the care which I received from the medical staff on the ward and the kindness shown to my parents and family during that very scary time.
I hope the money I raise will go towards facilities for families who find themselves in the same frightening position I and my family found ourselves in back in 2016.
All funds raised here will go directly to this great Foundation.
I hope you can help me by donating whatever you can. Simply click the Donate button above. All donations are processed securely.

My 150km Challenge is over! Thank you all so much for your support. As I doubled the fundraising target I felt it was only right to double the distance. I can confirm that I have walked 319.93 km and have raised €1,095! Thank you all so much 👏 However I can confirm that it is not too late and you can donate up you the 15/5/21. It has been great to help raise some funds for such a wonderful foundation that helped me through a difficult time in my life. I will be forever grateful to all of the staff in the St. Vincent's hospital and hope this money can go towards helping future patients and their families. Hannah x
