They saved his Dad three years ago – so Tim gets behind London hospital
O’SULLIVAN GROUP DONATES AGAIN TO BRITISH APPEAL
TIM O’Sullivan – and his wife, Kacey O’Driscoll – have donated £5,000 to an emergency fund supporting staff at the hospital that saved his father, muchloved Kerry-UK businessman Danny Tim O’Sullivan, in 2017.
The Danny Sullivan Group made the donation to help ‘ The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery’, where Danny Tim received treatment over five months following a brain hemorrhage.
After receiving emergency surgery and three further operations, the Glenbeigh native spent six weeks in intensive care, a fortnight in a high-dependency unit, three months on a ward, and received intensive rehabilitation as he re-learned to walk and talk.
The London-based hospital is the UK’s leading site for treating diseases of the brain, spine, and nervous system, and The National
Brain Appeal emergency fund is dedicated to raising funds to help under-pressure hospital staff.
The Danny O’Sullivan Group previously donated more than £75,000 to the appeal in 2017.
But as well as treating COVID-19 patients, the hospital continues to provide brain surgeries, while emergency stroke care has also moved to the location from the University College Hospital.
With that in mind, Danny Sullivan Group Managing Director Tim O’Sullivan said it was time to play their part for the hospital again and make another sizeable donation to The National Brain Appeal.
“My father worked long hours but always looked after his health so it was a huge shock to our family when he suddenly became unwell,” he said.
“We feel lucky to have been in such good hands, from dad’s GP’s quick action to get him to hospital, to his consultant neurosurgeon for saving his life in the operating theatre, to the nurses, physios, occupational therapists and psychologists who helped him to recover and taught him to walk and talk again. We are eternally grateful.
“Seeing my father doing so well now is testament to the incredible skill and expertise of the staff at The National Hospital.
“My wife Kacey, my family and I are grateful every day for not only saving his life, but returning him to such good health that he can live and enjoy a normal life.
“He is still involved in the business but taking it much easier these days.”
The National Brain Appeal Chief Executive Theresa Dauncey thanked the Danny O’Sullivan Group for the assistance they’ve given the hospital in these most pressurised of times.
