In this episode with Crumlin's Our Lady's Hospital School Principal Feral McNamara, we talk about why maintaining a link to education is so important for children while they undergo care and treatment.
Having a childhood continue allows patients to find comfort in the familiar.
While homework and tests might not be so important right now, Fergal explains how not leaving education behind can give children so much hope for the future.

Childhood Cancer Ireland is charity founded by and led by parents of children with cancer who know that one of the greatest sources of strength for this fight, is conversation.
Six children, adolescents and young adults are diagnosed with cancer every week in Ireland and the Gold Ribbon which illuminates precious light, love, courage and compassion is a symbol of strength and solidarity for each and every one.
As a non-government funded organisation, Childhood Cancer Ireland values every single donation.
