Liver transplant boy thanks air crew

A SIX-YEAR-OLD schoolboy was flying high yesterday after meeting the air ambulance crew that helped save his life.

Conor Reidy visited the Air Corps in Baldonnel to say thank you to the pilot and airmen who flew him to London for a liver transplant.

Despite months of gruelling treatment, the youngster, who suffered from a childhood liver cancer called hepatoblastoma, can still recall his early morning trip in the AW139 helicopter on August 11, 2009.
