Mystery donor to foot €300k bill for Megan

AN anonymous donor has offered to foot the likely €300,000 bill for a little Cork girl to have lifesaving treatment in the US.

Megan Malone from Cill na Martra, near Macroom, has a rare and highly malignant brain tumour, medulloblastoma, which is so rare that only two children in Ireland receive such a diagnosis every year.

The first her parents, John and Sheila, knew of the devastating tumour was last October when, in the same week they welcomed Megan’s new brother, Tristan, into the world, their three-year-old suddenly started vomiting and losing her balance.
