A Gorey mother of a poorly little boy says she has been overwhelmed by the public response to a campaign to help her family.
Over €28,000 has been raised for four-and-a-half-month-old Conor Joseph Grehan through the Caring For Conor campaign set up by Conor s proud godmother, Gorey s Joy Quigley. Over 60 people opted to complete a 5km walk or run in aid of Caring for Conor and the money raised will go towards the little boy s medical bills, with the rest donated to Crumlin Children s Hospital.
