'He’ll be on everyone’s minds' - Virtual Marymount fundraiser to be held in memory of Corkman

Hundreds are set to walk, run or hike this weekend in memory of Killian.

Killian passed away in July last year aged 24

When Barryroe man Killian Lawton was spending his final days in Marymount in July last year, he watched from the balcony as clubmates from Barryroe GAA drove by, blue and navy jerseys and flags out the car windows.

The 24-year-old and youngest of five siblings passed away from cancer just a couple of weeks later. Nine months on, his sister Nora told the Irish Examiner: “I often think it must have been hard for him to acknowledge that moment. Like, ‘are people only here as things are that bad?’, yet he took the goodness from the gesture.
