Ross Nugent Foundation
(IE, CHY19398) Browse events
YTD Raised: €502.15Ross Nugent was a fun-loving 18 year-old who loved nothing more than the company of his family and friends. Ross loved to make people laugh and this was one of the many reasons why so many people simply enjoyed his company. Ross was passionate about music, dance and art. He loved to sketch for his own enjoyment and even created drawings fo some of his friends as gifts. The space on this page is not enough to allow us to tell you of Ross's many gifts and talents. Today, we still hear stories of things that Ross did for people. It was never in his personality to tell us what he did and how he helped others. He simply did it because that is what came naturally to him. Ross touched many people during his 18 years in this world and continues to touch people although he departed from us on the 15th of May 2010. During his treatment for a rare form of bone cancer called Ewings Sarcoma, Ross only ever spoke of the things he would do when he came through it. This included a promise to his mother, Sandra, that he would raise money to buy a blood pressure monitor for St Clares Oncology Ward in Beaumont Hospital. He wanted to make life more comfortable for the patients, relations and nursing staff. Unfortuntely, Ross was never given that opportunity. The Ross Nugent Foundation was set up in his name to carry out his promise.
