Killoe woman, Gemma O’Gorman and her husband Joe have issued a heartfelt thank you to those who donated and supported their fundraising campaign in memory of their baby boy, Micheál, who passed away in March of last year.
“I cannot believe our fundraising efforts are now complete,” Gemma told the Longford Leader.
“The online Bingo Fundraiser facilitated by Jane Slevin and Mullingar Rugby Club on Wednesday, January 20 raised €1,850 with the Club Committee rounding it up to €2,000.
“On Saturday, January 23, Joe, Órnaith and myself walked the final kilometre of the Route 66 challenge we had set for ourselves which also fell on what would have been Mícheál’s first birthday.
