Communities rally to help with 5-year-old’s cancer treatment
By Michelle Crean
Communities in Rathmore and beyond are rallying to help support a family whose young child was diagnosed with cancer last month.
Little 5-year-old Brian Lawlor, a keen footballer who plays U5s with Rathmore GAA Club, was diagnosed in August and has been in Crumlin since then undergoing treatment.
The local parish have shown immense support to him and his devastated family by organising Masses and various fundraising events with more to come. They have also set up the Brian Lawlor Trust to support Brian through his journey.
The first fundraiser 'Bake for Brian' was held on September 11 in Teach Íosagáin and raised €10,500 which will go towards helping the family with costs while they support their young son.
Another fundraiser, a coffee morning, will take place tomorrow (Saturday) at 11am in the Arbutus Hotel and all support is welcome.
All fundraising will go into Brian's Trust and all remaining funds will be donated back to St John's Ward in Crumlin and the various charities that have supported him and his family to date.
"Our community has showed fantastic support and we are extremely grateful for their continued support to Brian and his family on this journey," Brian's aunt, Elaine O'Leary, told the Killarney Advertiser.
