IMPACT’s Cork branch has made a donation to a fund set up to assist Jason Cierans, who was put into an induced coma after suffering a brain injury following an assault in Sydney, Australia.

While he was taken out of intensive care this week, he is likely to need more treatment, and his family don’t yet know how long it will take him to recover. Jason’s mother Stephanie is a member of the Cork branch executive and represents members in the Mercy University Hospital.

IMPACT organiser Linda Kelly said, “Stephanie is our colleague and friend and hopefully we can support Stephanie and her family at this incredibly difficult time. We are keeping Stephanie, Jason and their family in our thoughts and prayers at the moment.”

Linda added that donations can be made to the fund via this link.
