On Wednesday, a charity sale was held in Listowel Mart organised by John's fiancé Erin Stack and his family; over 300 calves were donated by farmers from Kerry and across the country.

A GoFundMe page, which is still open for donations, has raised over €16,000.

Erin Stack says they are blown away by the support they have received.
