The Casement family from Loughinisland would like to express a heartfelt thank you to the generous community in NI for raising an incredible £15,000 for the ICU and Burns Unit at the RVH.

After three weeks of round the clock critical care in ICU and spending a further two weeks in the Burns Unit, Michael Casement and his family set to raise money to say thank you, not only for the care and support they received but also the 2,000 other families that the unit looks after every year. The money is to be split between Revive - RVH Intensive Care Unit & RVH Burns Unit.

ICU Lead Nurse Rhoda McFarland expressed their gratitude for this amazing amount explaining the RICU - REVIVE charity plays a pivotal role and the money will help provide new and improved facilities for patients, relatives and staff.
