10. “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 10 Why Daisy Lodge is so important
