Almost €100,000 was raised during the appeal. 

A Westmeath girl at the centre of a major fundraising effort during lockdown has passed away. 

Five-year-old Erika Martin from Kinnegad was diagnosed with a rare cancer in her pelvis.

The Get Erika To America Go Fund Me page was set up in May to raise €200,000 for her to undergo treatment in America to the US to fully remove the tumor. 

Her family is thanking the staff of the Paediatric Unit in the Midlands Regional Hospital, Mullingar.
