Anonymous donor to pay for Megan’s treatment in US

A DONOR has come forward and offered to pay for the specialist US treatment needed to save the life of three-and-a-half year-old Cork girl Megan Malone.

After being diagnosed in October with medulloblastoma, a highly malignant primary brain tumour, Megan, from Kilnamartyra in Co Cork, flew to New York last week where she is reported to be responding well to treatment.

The Malone family had earlier dismissed reports that €300,000 had been provided by an anonymous donor.
