Member of a Carrickcruppen GAA group are raising funds to provide support to little Leo Moley, son of their former player Shane Moley.
Carrickcruppen Gaelic for Mothers and Others are holding a raffle to raise funds. There are an extensive list of super prizes on offer. Tickets are £2 each or 3 for £5. The raffle will be drawn at a G4MO football blitz the group are hosting at Carrickcruppen on 19 August.
Two year old Leo was diagnosed with a very rare genetic condition called KAT6a syndrome in May this year and is due to have open heart surgery to repair a hole in his heart this summer. The money raised will go towards private therapies and equipment to help Leo lead his best life and will support the Children's Heartbeat Trust and the KAT6 Foundation.
Common symptoms of KAT6a Syndrome include varying degrees of intellectual disability, delays in reaching developmental milestones, delays in being able to speak and communicate and diminished muscle tone. Additional symptoms including abnormalities affecting the heart, eyes and gastrointestinal system can also occur.
Raffle tickets can be purchased from any member of the G4MO team or online via paypal at gaelic4mo@outlook.com
(Please remember to include your name and number and select friends/family) and please come and support our G4MO team at the blitz!
