Axel Foley remembered in son's #8Masses4no8 campaign

Munster legend Anthony Foley’s son Tony, 11, lit a special candle for his dad yesterday as crowds flocked to churches in response to his campaign to remember departed loved ones.

The eldest son of the late Munster coach officially kicked off his #8masses4no8 campaign by lighting his own candle with his mother, Olive, after Mass at St Flannan’s Church, Killaloe, on his father’s 43rd birthday.

Tony came up with the campaign idea last weekend following the outpouring of support on his father’s passing on October 16.
