Helping hand for ill children

Campaign to raise funds for Temple Street Hospital will ease strain for parents like Jean Moody, who has two sons with cystic fibrosis, says Helen O’Callaghan.

“It calms me down,” says the mum-of-four, who has two sons who have cystic fibrosis (CF), which ravages lungs and the digestive system.

Doctors say Aaron, six, is a ‘miracle child’ — unlike most children with CF, he never gets sick, never picks up infections. His four-year-old brother, Shane (pictured right) is the opposite.
