That’s according to CCI’s voluntary CEO Adi Roche who said many of the children who born in the region, with congenital heart defects such as a condition called ?Chernobyl Heart? won’t live beyond their sixth birthdays without life-saving open heart surgeries.

Kathryn Thomas and partner Padraig McLoughlin, Morah Ryan, 2FM DJ, journalist and broadcaster Dave Fanning, Emmy award winning Baz Ashmawy, style as well as Operation Transformation’s Dr. Ciara Kelly and Karl Henry were just some of the guests who supported the event.

The importance of the event was echoed by fellow CCI board member, Ali Hewson, who said, ?In a time of disturbing world stories Liz and Noel’s Chernobyl?Lunch is a great moment when CCI can tell the positive news of the work done for children in Belarus and Ukraine, thanks to the support of Irish people and also to state how important it is to continue that work.??
