UCC vigil to aid Abbey's wish to walk
Abbey McGeough, from Ballyvolane, Cork, was born with hydrocephalus — fluid on the brain — and was later diagnosed with epilepsy and spastic diplegia cerebral palsy which causes severe muscle stiffness.
The Junior Infants pupil at Rathpeacon National School used to be able to walk with the help of a walking frame, but has been confined to a wheelchair since 2012.
