Great Irish Bake
for Sick Children
Thank you for getting involved in the Great Irish Bake 2025 and helping raise vital funds. It was a piece of cake!
Thank You For Making the Great Irish Bake a Sweet Success! 🍰
Thank you to everyone who joined Donal Skehan and our star baker, Sara, for this year’s Great Irish Bake for Sick Children, proudly supported by Gem. Whether you baked something sweet, donated, or helped spread the word—you made a real difference for sick children and their families.
Thanks to your incredible support, all funds raised will go towards helping sick children and their families in Crumlin, Temple Street, Tallaght, and Connolly. You will help provide vital equipment, practical support, and life-changing research—the kind of care and innovation children like Sara rely on daily.
Sara’s journey with Temple Street began when she was six weeks old. Since then, she has undergone multiple surgeries, including two major skull expansion surgeries to give her brain the space it needs to grow. Today, Sara is thriving thanks to the incredible doctors, nurses, and hospital staff who’ve been with her every step—and your kindness helps keep that care going strong.
Your support is truly making a difference—bringing us closer to delivering even better care for those who need it most. We’re so grateful you took part in this year’s campaign. Every cake, biscuit, and cupcake you baked is helping transform lives, provide the best possible care, and give every sick child the very best chance.
Thank you for baking it happen from all of us at Children’s Health Foundation.

Meet Sara
Sara is our star patient for the 2025 Great Irish Bake!
Born with Muenke Syndrome, a rare condition that causes the skull’s joints to fuse too early, Sara has faced multiple life-changing surgeries. Thanks to the exceptional care and support from Children’s Health Ireland, Sara continues to thrive and face every challenge with strength and determination.
“Children’s Health Ireland at Temple Street supported us throughout the process, even during emergencies. There was nothing they couldn’t handle.” – Diane, Sara’s Mum.
