Mum pleads for help to allow her little girl to walk

A young mother has made an emotional appeal to the health minster to intervene to help her little girl walk.

Leslie Ann McGeough, 25, is spearheading a fundraising campaign to raise €100,000 for a potentially life-changing operation in the US for her five-year-old daughter, Abbey, who must use a wheelchair.

“I am basically heartbroken looking at my little girl this way when I know she has so much potential,” Leslie Ann said.
