Home for Christmas with BUMBLEance

Jack's journey home to Tralee

Jack joined the BUMBLEance family at just 13 months old. After spending his first year in hospital, his first BUMBLEance journey brought him home to Tralee in time for Christmas.

Jack was born prematurely at 27 weeks and spent his first year in hospital. On 22 December 2022, his first BUMBLEance journey took him from Temple Street to Tralee, with his mother able to remain beside him for the whole trip. The free door-to-door service took the stress out of the family's travel so they could concentrate on Jack.
