A great collaborative effort by the Kerry and Cork people to give hope where a year ago there was none. Great work Tony Heffernan and Billy O'Sullivan picking up the baton and making it happen.

Well done those fundraisers and of course all who contributed, It is indeed heartwarming when such an amount can be raised so quickly and for such a good cause. God Bless Saoirse we will remember you in our prayers.

I am thrilled that she is going to the trials. Hope this will lead to a cure and potentially to cures for other diseases as well

How sad, too, that people have had to raise money for the trial. It should, of course, be free.
