It was announced today that Ryanair and BoyleSports bookmakers presented a €10,000 cheque to the Jack & Jill Children's Foundation, following a Cheltenham charity partnership. 

Ryanair teamed up with BoyleSports to offer Ryanair customers travelling to Cheltenham a free €15 bet, with €5 from every promotional bet placed going to Jack & Jill.

BoyleSports matched the €5,000 total raised to bring the donation to €10,000, providing Jack & Jill with vital funds to help families of children with life limiting conditions to receive home respite care.

Jack & Jill's CEO, Jonathan Irwin said, "On behalf of the 300 children and their families supported by the Jack & Jill Foundation, I salute and thank Ryanair and BoyleSports most sincerely.

The €10,000 raised will fund 625 hours of home nursing care for children, all over Ireland, from birth to 4 years of age.

Children who have life limiting conditions; precious children who need constant care and, in some cases, end of life care, so they can be at home with their families where they belong, for whatever short time they have. Thank you."
