Conor Burke has been diagnosed with a number of conditions, including EDS, which affects his connective tissue and has left him in a wheelchair.
A €100,000 donation to a midlands mum's fundraising appeal could save her son's life
Athlone's Conor Burke has been diagnosed with a number of conditions, including EDS, which affects his connective tissue and has left him in a wheelchair.
A lack of available treatment in Ireland led him to a neurosurgeon in Barcelona, and a €160,000 bill of expenses between travel and two surgeries.
His mum, Lisa Malone, set up a GoFundMe to raise money for her son, which reached €65,000.
And she says an anonymous donor made up the difference with a gift of €100,000.
