Anne’s love and care for daughter recognised

SHE has already lost two of her children to a rare and devastating disease but brave mother Anne McGrath is now devoting her energy to looking after her 10-year-old daughter who is battling the same condition.

Last night, Anne’s courage and selflessness were honoured when she was presented with the Munster Carer of the Year award in Clonmel, in recognition of her work caring for Tamara.

The young girl suffers from the neurological disorder Canavans disease, a rare and fatal illness that leaves children severely mentally and physically incapacitated.
