At Cancer Fund for Children, we understand the devastating impact a cancer diagnosis and its treatment have on the whole family, and that beyond the essential medical care, there is a family life that needs to be rebuilt.

Emotional, social and practical support for children and young people with cancer, their family, friends and those bereaved, and for families dealing with cancer.

The Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation was born arising from Jonathan Irwin’s and Mary Ann O’ Brien’s own difficult care journey when their son Jack suffered permanent brain damage soon after birth, leaving him with severe disabilities and in need of round-the-clock care.
