Sophie, 6, honoured in fight for life

A Limerick girl who was given just four days to live after she was born will be honoured this weekend for overcoming huge obstacles in her life.

Sophie Mulcahy, 6 , is one of only 40 people in the world to suffer from a condition called 1q43 deletion.

The youngster’s heart was so weak when she was born that her parents Stacey and Liam were told she only had four days to live.
