"We are overhwelmed by this lovely gesture!" Fiona O'Malley, Head of Communications at CMRF Crumlin said.

"The kindness of strangers is amazing. People who want to help us support some of Ireland's sickest children can donate directly on our website at cmrf.org/donate. We have the most amazing supporters who do great fundraisers for us including abseils, mini marathons, cake sales, fundraiser cycles or by arranging a crazy hair day or no uniform day in their schools.

“There are so many ways that people give back and help us fund life-saving equipment, ground-breaking medical research and wraparound support services.

Every so often, we see something like this and it really make us smile in the office

“We don't know anything about the person who sent in these hats, but we all want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts
