Fund keeps memory alive

CHRISTIAN SCULLY died two years ago, aged 28, nine months after a vicious street attack left him in a coma. But yesterday, his family and friends gave a new lease of life to other serious brain injury sufferers.

Members of the Christian Scully Memorial Fund, with the help of a once-off grant from the Southern Health Board, presented a wheelchair-accessible bus to the Cork branch of Headway Ireland, the national support group for people with acquired brain injury.

Christian Scully, from Greenwood Estate in Togher, Cork, was assaulted on January 28, 2002, at Sober Lane in the city.
