At Daisy Lodge families will have precious time to….. • be together as a family during a traumatic and challenging time • benefit from therapeutic and holistic support provided by CFC’sexperienced team of Specialists • share experiences and gain support from other families in a similar situation • create special memories together

  9. Why Daisy Lodge is so important “A short break was an escape for us. It was like a sanctuary, a safe haven away from the gruelling routine of hospital visits and treatment. The support we gained from meeting other families who understood the challenges and fears of nursing a child with cancer was invaluable. People don’t realise how much a place like that is needed until it happens to them.” – Georgina McKee mum to 5 yr old Eoghan who was diagnosed with leukaemia in 2010
