Fundraising will help cover hospital bills of attack victim

FUNDRAISERS are helping an Irishman, who was left in a coma after an attack in the United States, pay for his expensive medical care.

The money has been raised in the past week, since a local committee in John Brennan’s home parish of Clara in Kilkenny clubbed together to meet his $11,000-a-day hospital care.

John spent his 21st birthday yesterday recovering from what his parents hope will be his final operation.
