VIDEO: Deserving Tipperary family given extra special Santa gift by local radio station

After a busy year of fundraising the Russell family from Carrick on Suir were in for a treat last Friday thanks to local radio station Beat 102-103.

The family, parents Mick and Michelle and five-year-old triplets Cillian, Conor and Ruth, have spent the year raising over €30,000 in order to buy a special fitted wheelchair accessible vehicle for Cillian.

Cillian’s heart stopped when he was a year old and resulted in him being quadriplegic with cerebral palsy and epilepsy as well.
