McIlroy unveils centre for child cancer sufferers with £1m donation

Rory McIlroy has opened a new support centre for children with cancer and vowed to see it replicated elsewhere.

The world’s number one golfer returned to Northern Ireland and the picturesque surroundings of Newcastle, Co Down, to unveil Daisy Lodge — a therapeutic short-break centre to which his charitable foundation has given £1m (€1.27m).

The four-time major winner said this was only the beginning, adding that he had been touched by what he learned during his visit.
