INSPIRING! Community rallies behind Tipperary teen facing kidney failure

Community rallies behind Clogheen teen facing kidney failure

Tipperary Tipperary Tipperary

A fundraising event is being organised in Clogheen to support Cian, a 15-year-old local boy who has recently been diagnosed with kidney failure.

As a result of his condition, Cian must travel to Dublin three times a week for dialysis, placing significant pressure on him and his family. The fundraiser is being held to help support them during this challenging time.

A coffee morning will take place in St Paul’s Community Centre, Clogheen, on 14 February from 10am to 1pm.

In conjunction with the coffee morning, a raffle is also being organised. Raffle tickets will be on sale in the XL shop in Clogheen on 7 February and will also be available on the day of the coffee morning.

Anyone wishing to donate a prize for the raffle is asked to drop it into the fruit and veg shop in Clogheen. Donations may include unused gifts or bottles, and all contributions will be greatly appreciated.

The organisers have wished Cian well on his road to recovery and say they look forward to seeing him back in Clogheen in full health in the future.
