Chairman’s Statement David McCann

Reflecting on last year I am incredibly inspired by the amount we have achieved for sick children. It is only with the help of our wonderful supporters that we are able to buy state of the art equipment, fund research and put life back into tired old wards.

6

The Children’s Fund for Health is committed to doing everything it can for sick children.

The patients and their families deserve that, and the partners we work with and those who support us expect nothing less.

In this report you will be able to see just how much we have achieved this year and, how we achieved it. It presents key financial information, but more importantly it highlights how the funds were spent to improve patient care.

I am so proud to tell you that our ability to support the hospital was strengthened by an increased amount of charitable income this year. During 2013, our income grew by 15% to €5.5 million, all of which was generated through fundraising activities.

Over €3.8million was spent improving hospital wards and purchasing pieces of vital life-saving equipment to ensure that Temple Street stays at the forefront of paediatric medicine.

Highlights of the year include: - The redevelopment of St. Joseph’s Top Flat at a cost of €2million, with more than €1.65million coming from charitable donations.

Each year more than 1,900 children are admitted to this ward making it a very busy environment. Before the renovation it had not seen any improvements since the 1930’s.

- Over €650,000 was spent on purchasing vital life-saving equipment including dialysis machines, incubators and ventilators.

- We saw a record number of people join our ‘Miracle Club’, pledging to give a monthly donation to Temple Street. This saw our income from monthly donors rise by 110%.

- Our income from Corporate Partnerships grew by 43%. We also secured a number of new high-value partnerships.

The Children’s Fund for Health staff and the fundraising Board are excited for the year ahead.

We are focused on a number of critical re-development projects and we will continue to fund urgent equipment purchases, with research remaining a key priority.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Denise Fitzgerald and her team for everything they have done in the past year. They work so hard every day to make a difference to sick children. I would like to thank the Board who give of their time and expertise freely in support of that work. And I would like to thank each and every person who has given their time, money, skills and energy to help Temple Street.

Chief Executive Review Denise Fitzgerald

Welcome to our annual report for 2013. I am delighted to be able to share with you our achievements over the past year thanks to all the great work being carried out by the foundation, our supporters and the hospital.

As I look back on a very busy 2013 I can’t help but smile when I think of all the children and families we have been able to care for thanks to the support of our amazing donors, fundraisers, ambassadors and network of volunteers.

We started the year with ambitious plans and we were blown away by the sheer volume of people who came to our rescue, allowing us to realise our goals. Our main aim for 2013 was to redevelop one of our oldest and busiest wards, St. Joseph’s Top Flat. That dream became a reality by year end when a bright and spacious environment was unveiled to patients and staff just in time for Christmas. I can’t tell you what it means to families, especially those in our care long term, to finally have a comfortable and safe environment for their child. It really is priceless.

It was another great year for campaigns and events with thousands of people signing up to make a difference. We had a record number of Great Irish Bakers hosting cake sales all around the country on April 19th with an increase in net income of more than €160,000. More than 17,000 people sold raffle tickets and another 1,500 took on a challenge – and all in the name of sick children.

Our Trick or Treat campaign received a welcome uplift thanks to Miwadi’s support which allowed us to grow the campaign and increase net funds by a staggering 50%. But it is only with the support and dedication of hundreds of committed volunteers around the country that we are able to

8

run nationwide campaigns and events. Their input and expertise year on year allows us to raise a phenomenal amount of money.

There are so many amazing individuals, businesses, schools and community groups who deserve a mention but there are simply too many to do them justice. So if you are one of them – thank you so much, the hospital is what it is today because of the funds you have raised.

I would also like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all the parents who allowed us to share their powerful stories. It is only through raising awareness that we can champion change and make Temple Street a better place.

Finally, I would like to thank the hospital management and staff, whose passion and commitment to improve the lives of sick children is remarkable. Their care and unwavering dedication inspires us every day and it pushes both the fundraising team and our Board to continue to raise the bar every year, focused and determined to ensure we are the best at what we do. Our patients deserve nothing less.

Denise Fitzgerald Chief Executive, Temple Street Fundraising

Grace’s story A letter from one our grateful parents, Susan O’Flynn, reinforces our determination to continue to fundraise for Temple Street.

Baby Grace Grace O’Flynn was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour in early September. She was only 14-months-old. The tumour was the size of a small orange at the base of her brain and its presence caused a dangerous buildup of fluid that needed to be removed quickly. Grace and her family left Cork by ambulance under Garda escort and arrived in Temple Street a little over 2 hours later. Grace had an external drain placed into her brain that evening to relieve the pressure and the first of her surgeries to remove the tumour took place the next day. The initial surgery proved to be very challenging and Grace lost a lot of blood. But the surgeons very successfully managed to remove over 90% of the tumour. Over the next four weeks she would have a permanent drain fitted internally and further surgery to remove the remaining growths. However this was just the start of her journey, a journey her family never dreamed they would be on.

14

“My husband Séamus and I heard and read such stories many times. We would close our eyes and thank the heavens it was not any of our children.

Then we would get back to the day in hand preparing for work, cooking dinner, picking up the kids - and then Grace got sick and our worlds changed. Not just Séamus and my world but our boys’ worlds also. Grace was in each of our hearts from the start but from the time we arrived in Temple Street Séamus and I knew we were part of a team dedicated to saving our little girl’s life.

Neurosurgeons worked their magic to ease Grace’s intense pain and to get the tumour out.

The Theatre nurses made sure the surgeries ran smoothly and the ICU staff watched Grace’s every move post op to ensure she was always stable and comfortable. The hospital porters moved her around so respectfully knowing when to talk and when space was needed. Social workers and hospital chaplains, sat with us while we cried, held our hands and shared our joy on the good days.

The nurses on St. Gabriel’s ward treated Grace with such a depth of feeling and love through everything that was happening. Every day that passed, each and every member of staff put their hands to our backs and kept Séamus and I strong.

My husband Séamus and I have learned so much these past few weeks. We have learned that Grace is a fighter. She is strong and resilient but yet so small and vulnerable. We have learned that cancer in any shape or form is the scariest word you can be introduced to. We have learned that brain tumours hurt. So too do the surgeries to get them out. We have learned it is not always easy to stay positive and these are the times when you reach out for the hands being offered. We have learned it’s ok to cry and it’s ok to ask for help. We have learned that Temple Street Children’s Hospital is a place filled with happiness and sadness but also immense expertise, passion and respect.

We have learned that Temple Street has given Grace the best chance at survival and beating her cancer. And we have learned the hospital relies on the kindness and generosity of the general public.

“…But mostly thank you to all of you who continue to donate and fundraise. Without you and the difference your contributions make Grace would not have survived this far.”

Thank you to all of you who get up every morning with the simple wish of making a child well. Thank you to those who held and treated Grace as if she were your own. To those of you who helped relieve her pain, wrapped her blankie around her, who put a little sugar on her soother, and who rubbed her little feet and kissed her face. To the arms that hugged us when we cried, who went down the dark hole with us and pulled us to a lighter place and who stood like a guard of honour around us.”

Our Incredible Fundraisers In 2013, with the help of family and friends, Aoife and Edward Casey raised over €25,000 in memory of their daughter Kathryn who sadly passed away.

The funds were used to purchase a patient monitor for the theatre recovery room. With the help of this equipment Temple Street will continue to care for babies and children for years to come.

In 2013 the annual Equinox Cycle raised an incredible €11,285 for Temple Street. Over 50 cyclists took part in this charity cycle which is sponsored by several companies. The Equinox crew cycled 230km from Howth Harbour in Dublin to the beautiful port town of Kinvara, Galway.

2013: €3,828,770 invested Rian Lowry is only 8 years old but he is determined to help sick kids. In 2013, Rian and his family decided to host what was meant to be a play date for some of his school friends but it quickly snowballed. Rian’s family, friends and neighbours rallied and got behind the fundraiser. A total of €2,000 was raised helping to purchase two Respiratory Monitors.

John Kilfeather realised his New York Marathon dream in 2013: “I couldn’t believe it, this was it.

I was running up the Verrazano Bridge. I reflected on the months I spent training, weekends fundraising and the special children I was running for. Before I knew it I was in floods of tears.”

Ward And Hospital Redevelopment Year after year transformations have been made possible thanks to fundraised money.

Since the foundation was established in 2000, we have used donations to update facilities in the hospital making cramped and outdated wards a thing of the past. This year, thanks to our amazing supporters, we were able to completely upgrade St. Joseph’s Top Flat.

The upgrade cost €2 million, with almost €1.65 million coming from charitable donations. What an achievement!

Top Flat is unveiled!

Every single donation and every fundraising event makes life better for sick children and their families in Temple Street. Thanks to our amazing supporters we were able to completely upgrade St. Joseph’s Top Flat.

Top Flat is one of the busiest wards in the hospital with over 1,900 children admitted every year.

Before the renovation, it hadn’t seen any major improvements since the 1930’s.

The generosity of our donors has transformed this ward into a new world class facility.

Key Features - Four world class isolation suites “These rooms are essential for children with weak immune systems or those vulnerable to infection, such as Cystic Fibrosis patients.”

- A satellite classroom for children who are missing out on school - A specialist treatment room - A consultation room to discuss a child’s prognosis in private - A bathroom in every unit - A Patient Entertainment System at each bedside

Donations made all of this possible.

Ventilator Ventilators help critically ill children breath.

They are a vital piece of equipment in our Intensive Care Unit, allowing doctors and nurses to monitor a child’s progress and adapt oxygen flow at a moment’s notice.

€45,000

“Gazing at the ventilator sustaining little Jake, I noticed a small subtle plaque. The plaque was an acknowledgement of the fact that the equipment was donated. Looking around the room it quickly became apparent much of the other equipment was bought by fundraising. We owe them everything.”

Ciaran, Jake’s dad

Incubator High tech Omnibed incubators are all-in-one life support machines. They are used to keep premature babies and critically ill infants alive.

“Without a doubt Ella would not have made it without the incubators and the medical expertise of the surgeons and staff who attended her.

Without these machines, that people all over the country fundraise for, we would have been lost.”

Paul, Ella’s dad €50,000

Vital Equipment When a child’s life hangs in the balance, equipment matters. Temple Street has some of the best doctors and nurses in the world but without specialist equipment it’s simply not enough.

Technology allows the hospital to stay at the forefront of paediatric medicine. In 2013, €664,910 was spent purchasing vital life-saving equipment such as ventilators, dialysis machines and incubators.

20

Kidney Dialysis Machine Dialysis is a medical process that is used when a child’s kidneys are damaged and can no longer filter toxins from the blood. As Temple Street is the National Centre for Renal Dialysis, the hospital treats children from all over Ireland.

For children with kidney problems, dialysis machines are a lifeline.

“Aimee Louise is desperate for a new kidney, but she copes much better with it than we do. She just gets on with it. She is such a little trooper.”

Michelle, Aimee Louise’s mum €35,000

Today’s Research, Tomorrow’s Treatment Advancing pioneering research to find new treatments and cures for rare and complex illnesses treated at Temple Street is one of the hospital’s main objectives. In 2013 the foundation allocated €730,000 to honour this commitment.

T E M P L E S T R E E T C H I L D R E N ’ S U N I V E R S I T Y H O S P I TA L

The hospital has three thematic areas of research and we actively fund research projects under each of these headings. Below are examples of some of the important research which we funded in 2013:

Child Health Dr Adrienne Foran along with PhD student Dr Michael Boyle have been assessing differences in specialised MRI scans of babies who did not grow well in the mother’s womb.

They continue to follow up with these babies to see how they develop and to work out whether the differences seen on the MRI brain scans can help to predict those babies who are most at risk of challenges (such as difficulties with attention and concentration) in later life.

Rare Disorders Prof Mary King and Dr Nicholas Allen along with Dr Judith Conroy and Dr Sean Ennis (UCD) used

a genetic research test performed on each child’s blood test, known as Whole Exome Sequencing, to study the genetic causes for early onset epileptic encephalopathies, a devastating group of childhood disorders which often go unexplained.

They determined the cause in approximately 15-20% of previously investigated children reporting that this new genetic technique is a very useful diagnostic tool.

Specialist Surgery In a project that was co-funded with the National Children’s Research Centre in Crumlin, Dr Danielle McLaughlin used a special model to discover a strong link between highly important BMP signalling genes and malformations of the oesophagus (or food pipe). This may have important implications for a condition called oesophageal atresia/tracheo-oesophageal fistula, where the oesophagus does not form properly and which affects 1 in 3000 children born each year.

We also funded five new projects in 2013: Prof Triona Sweeney: Therapist Supervised Articulation Intervention Programme for children with repaired cleft palate.

Dr Patrick Gavin: Analysis of the anti-viral IFN-α JAK/STAT pathway in Hepatitis C (HCV) infected children.

Mr Dylan Murray: Understanding the mechanisms underpinning the influence of age and craniosynostosis on the regenerative capacity of cells & tissues.

Mr John Gillick: Structural and molecular basis of Persistent Bowel Symptoms after a pull-through operation for Hirschsprung’s disease, co-funded with the National Children’s Research Centre, Crumlin.

“It’s simple really. We all want our children to live long and healthy lives. We need research to look for ways to prevent them from getting ill and to ensure that they receive the best possible treatment for their condition if they are sick.”

Gayle Kenny, Research Manager

Dr Sally Ann Lynch: Identification of the genetic causes of developmental delay with mitochondrial dysfunction in the Irish Traveller population.

Supporting Patients and their Families The foundation funds welfare programmes that support our patients, parents and siblings. In 2013 we committed €337,385 towards these projects.

We believe in caring not only for the child but for the whole family. This care comes in many forms, from counselling to the provision of accommodation for parents. Patient and family support is also provided through services such as Pet Therapy, Sibling Camps and Bereavement services.

T E M P L E S T R E E T C H I L D R E N ’ S U N I V E R S I T Y H O S P I TA L

Pet Therapy A very special furry group of volunteers have been touching the lives of our patients for over 3 years.

These dogs and their owners are a part of the Pet Therapy Program at Temple Street which started in 2010. The therapy dogs come to the hospital every week and assist our play specialists with physical therapy, pain management and easing anxiety, amongst many other things. Ultimately, this group of unique volunteers, bring smiles and joy to patients and their families.

€5,000

Sibling camps

€4,000

When a child is sick the entire family unit is affected. Very often siblings of seriously ill children can feel confused, scared and a little left out. Sibling Camps give these children access to the doctors and nurses in Temple Street. During this time they can have a tour of the hospital and learn more about the people, equipment and the place that is caring for their brother or sister. It is an opportunity for them to ask questions about their sibling’s illness, and express their feelings in a safe environment.

Bereavement Counselling This year €13,000 went towards the running of Temple Street’s bereavement service, which offers support to parents and families grieving the loss of a child. This consists of one to one counselling with individual family members and also group sessions.

€13,000
