Calling on supporters of Writers’ Tears & The Irishman to help provide nursing care for very ill children under 5 years old, Bernard Walsh said: “There is nobody more deserving of our support than these children and The Jack & Jill Foundation that supports them. Rosemary and I hope is that the community that supports our whiskeys in over 50 countries worldwide, will now help us to support these very young children and their families, in whatever way they can. The raffle is one option, but people can also donate directly at www.jackandjill.ie/how-you-can-help/donate.”
Commenting on behalf of the Jack & Jill Foundation, Carmel Doyle, CEO said: “While our fundraising has been flattened with so much cancelled by Covid-19, the families we support rely on us more than ever. I want to thank Bernard and Rosemary Walsh for spearheading this international community effort which will fund home nursing care hours and respite for our Jack & Jill families. So from our community to yours, thank you all so much.”
