US research hope for Aoife’s rare brain tumour

DOZENS of wellwishers have been moved to leave messages of hope for toddler Aoife McGrane King who is fighting a rare brain tumour doctors say they can not cure.

Some also passed on information gleaned from personal experience which the three-and-a-half-year-old’s family hope might give them a lead in finding a successful treatment.

But mostly they just wanted to let Aoife and her parents, Lisa and Tomas, know they were thinking of them after her story was highlighted nationally in recent days.
