Share A Dream was founded by Shay Kinsella in 1989 after meeting a beautiful 7 year old girl who was fighting a terrible uphill battle with Leukaemia. Seeing what this little girl and her family were going through on a daily basis was heart wrenching for Shay. He wondered if she had ever done anything special in her short but traumatic young life. When he was told her greatest dream was to go to Disneyland, Shay set about making her dream come true...

Sadly, this little girl passed away before Shay was able to help realise her dream. This left him devastated. At the moment he promised that he would do everything he could to bring a little magic into the lives of sick and disabled children all over Ireland, and so was born 'Share A Dream'.

Specialties: Each year Share A Dream helps create smiles on the faces of  hundreds of sick children and their families all over Ireland.
