Limerick mum praises 'people's goodness' as donations for son’s cancer trial exceed €375k target

Fund was set up three weeks ago to help three-year-old Theo Murnane access a US cancer drug trial

Eleanor Murnane and her son Theo plan to travel to New York in January to begin the cancer trial.

An online fund set up three weeks ago to help a boy from Co Limerick access a US cancer drug trial, has exceeded its target of €375,000, with his mother thanking “the goodness of people”.

Theo Murnane, 3, from Murroe, has been in cancer treatment for the past two and a half years after a tumour in his abdomen spread to his bones and scalp.
