Despite the best efforts of his teammates, coaches and the emergency services Ciarán died in Tallaght Hospital shortly after arrival. His death was attributed to what is commonly known as Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS). Ciarán’s death shocked his club, the Clondalkin community and the public at large. Ciarán had already booked his 21st birthday party and in conjunction with his family and friends this night went ahead in March 2012. The purpose of ‘A Night for Ciarán‘ was to raise funds for the CRY Foundation in Tallaght Hospital. €24,000 was duly raised and donated. After this mammoth fundraising effort the true extent of the loss began to set in. Ciarán, a young, fit, seemingly healthy young man, had left for training one Friday evening and never returned home. Gemma and Philip Carr, along with friends and family, began to put together a plan to ensure that such an incident never happened again within Round Tower GAA Club. Gradually this developed into the Ciarán Carr Foundation, a charity committed to preventing sudden cardiac death in our community and others who are willing to work alongside us. On Thursday April 4th 2013, the Ciarán Carr Foundation was officially launched in Croke Park by the Dublin Senior Football manager Jim Gavin with Gemma and Philip Carr. Our Mission The Ciarán Carr Foundation aims to achieve the following within Round Tower GAA Club and the wider Clondalkin Community with the hope that others will join with us: Screen each player at least every two years, this consists of each playing member completing the GAA approved cardiac questionnaire and in the future being screened by a medical professional Train every manager and coach in the use of a defibrillator and life saving CPR. Mentors are the first to respond to a player who gets into cardiac complications and such a skill is vital to ensure the best possible chance of survival Promote awareness. There are signs and symptoms and a knowledge of these can save lives Set an example for other clubs, regardless of sport, to join with us and prevent this happening to other communities

(UK, X10082) Browse eventsSt Chad's College Durham's alumni, friends and parents can support the work of our College, as we continue to provide opportunities and facilities which allow our students to excel and succeed. We currently need your help to support these projects: Paddock Pavilion & Boathouse - our new facility on our land by the river providing ample storage for our boats and social space in the newly landscaped College Paddock. Anna's Room - in memory of Anna Roots, formerly Townsend (Chad's 1998-2001) who tragically died in 2014, we are raising money for a room in the Paddock Pavilion. Postgraduate scholarships - to provide financial support to allow some of our Chad's finalists to continue their studies to research level. College Choir - each year our talented student singers and organists enrich College through its ongoing musical tradition. We offer choral and organ scholarships and raise money to pay for music and professional training. St Chad's College is a recognised (independent) college of Durham University, founded in 1904. Unlike the majority of Durham colleges, St Chad's is not maintained or governed by the University and is financially autonomous, independently staffed and entirely self-governed. One of the smallest of Durham's colleges in terms of student numbers (350 undergraduates, 150 postgraduates) St Chad's nonetheless has the largest staff, extensive library facilities, and among the highest undergraduate academic results in Durham. As an independent charity, which receives only a small amount of money from the University and receives none of the £9,000 tuition fee each student now pays, to be able to continue to provide and improve our facilities for our students’ studies, accommodation, wellbeing, sport, recreation and self-improvement, we rely on the generous donations of our alumni and friends. Please join the ever-increasing number of people who are proud to support St Chad’s. Dr Joe Cassidy Principal
