TV presenter and CMRF Crumlin ambassador Maia Dunphy has urged the public to give back this Christmas, to those who need it the most.
The former Celebrity MasterChef Ireland contestant, and author of new book The M Word, is getting involved in CMRF’s campaign for Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital’s this Christmas, and encouraging others to do the same.
“I am honoured to be asked to take part in such an important fundraising drive,” Maia said at the launch of Toughest Journey Campaign.
“Christmas is a happy time for most families across the country, however, not all of us are lucky enough to spend it at home. Some children will spend this Christmas in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin and others regularly face months of treatment, and long stays there.
“This campaign shines a light on these children who may face years of chronic illness or life threatening challenges, and we’re asking everyone to do their bit and make the journeys for these patients a little bit easier and to provide hope for the future.”
Maia recently told VIP Magazine that for her, motherhood is “the most incredible thing she’s ever done.”
“A lot of people kind of rhapsodise about motherhood and I do get it, it’s the most incredible thing I’ve ever done in my life and it does give so much perspective to my life in a very, very healthy way.”
Check out Maia’s full interview in this month’s issue of VIP Magazine, on shelves now.
