Support The Foundation
History
The Eilish Degnan Children's Foundation was set up by Gerald Degnan in memory of his mother a cancer victim who died in 2008. Unfortunately Gerald's father John also died from cancer in 2014. Gerald was the only child of Eilish and John Degnan and wanted to do something that would be a lasting memory to them.
​
Aims of The Foundation
Through the inspirational spirit of Eilish Degnan this foundation was formed with clear and simple goals:
​
​
​
“To raise funds to aid and help the children suffering from all forms of life limiting illness and their families. To give them a brief respite from the daily burden of this debilitating disease with day trips, holidays or even meet with their heroes… bringing a little happiness into their lives.”
