The Charity was set up by a girl with a rare form of cancer and her Mom.

This St. Patrick’s Day, a group of women from all over Ireland will take part in a ‘Dip in the Nip.

Buses will be going from Kildare and Tipperary and the women will take a dip in the nip to raise funds for the charity

In for a Penny’  was set up to raise funds for sick children in  Our Lady's Children's Hospital Crumlin & Daisy Lodge Mayo.

This fundraiser was launched by Penny O’Brien and her Mum, Sinead, who's originally from Leixlip, this week.

Penny’s family came up with this unique and daring event, inspired by Penny, to support the vital work that happens in CHI at Crumlin each and every day.   

Penny was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a very rare form of bone cancer in June 2020.
