Gortnahoe Glengoole GAA club is appealing for support for local man Des Daly who was diagnosed with an extremely rare Lymphatic Disease which affects his chest and lungs making it difficult for him to breathe properly on a daily basis.

Eight months ago he underwent major surgery which has resulted in him being unable to return to a normal life.Due to little being known about his disease here in Ireland his doctors do not have the neccessary equipment or experience to treat him but have given him very good care up to now and been most helpful ,however after much research we have discovered that there is a Hospital in Philadelphia were they have some experience in helping patients like Des and have been told that they are willing to give him the life saving treatment he needs.

Due to the costly nature of facilitating this trip we are now trying to raise funds to get him over as soon as we can. Any donation you can give would be very much appreciated to help Des Breathe Easy again. Thank you.
