The fundraiser aims to encourage students and staff right across Munster to wear their favourite onesie or pyjamas to school on November 15 to raise vital funds for the cause

Cork University Hospital is inviting schools across Munster to take part in a ‘Onesie Day’ on November 15 to raise vital funds to support the Paediatric Diabetes Service at the hospital.

“By taking part, students will learn about diabetes and show support by wearing onesies or pyjamas to school. It’s a great opportunity to educate, have fun, and make a real difference,” said charity spokesperson, Monika Seidel.

Each school will be provided with a suite of information, prepared in partnership with experts from CUH, to help explain Type 1 to school children.

The Paediatric Diabetes Service at CUH provides critical care and support to young patients and their families from across Munster, helping them manage the condition and live full, healthy lives.
