Barretstown aims to rebuild the lives of children affected by cancer and other serious illnesses through its camps at its kildare campus and also through its outreach services in hospitals. All of their services are provided free of charge to families who use them. One of the families who have seen the importance of their services is the family of Fióna O’Reilly who was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at just 14 months.

Sarah O’Reilly, mother of Barretstown camper Fióna chatted to Pat this morning.
