Thu, May 07, 2020

I decided to study nutrition at CNM after experiencing the impact diet changes had on my little girl’s health. She was very poorly between the age of one and three, with frequent trips to the hospital due to recurrent chest infections and asthma-like symptoms.

Irish Kidney Association appeals for digital donations as annual fundraiser is postponed

Thu, Apr 02, 2020

The Galway branch of Irish Kidney Association’s largest annual fundraiser is the sale of forget-me-nots during Organ Donor Awareness Week, when volunteers take to the streets of Galway city and county. With the event now postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the organisation is asking people to donate online.

Eoin Madden, chair of the Galway branch, has appealed to people to support the IKA's vital work. “This year obviously the sale of forget-me-nots is another casualty of the Covid-19 crisis," he said. "However our vital work promoting organ donation, and supporting patients, must continue. So we are appealing to the public to donate via our Galway IKA Facebook page or by texting the word Kidney to 50300. Sending the text will donate €4 from your account to Irish Kidney Association.”
