The family of former Dundalk FC star Sonia Hoey have told how she is overwhelmed by the phenomenal fundraising repsonse for her to get cancer treatment in Mexico.
The people of Dundalk and beyond have rallied to raise money for the sports star so she can recieve treatment in the Hope for Cancer Centre in Mexico.
After battling off stage three cervical cancer in 2019, last year Sonia and her family got the devastating news that it had returned, spreading to her lungs and having already gotten the maximum dose of radiation treatment she was given a 12-month diagnosis by doctors.

Dundalk FC host neighbours Drogheda United on Saturday (kick-off, 6pm) at Oriel Park in what will be the first Louth derby to be played in the SSE Airtricity League in four years.
The Lilywhites came desperately close to what would have been their first win of the new season on Tuesday night against Derry City at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
David McMillan put Dundalk ahead on 53 minutes, but another mistake from goalkeeper Alessio Abibi afforded Cameron McJannett and Derry an equaliser just past the hour-mark.
