During Aria’s time in hospital, the family received huge support from the Ronald McDonald House, which provides accommodation for families whose children are patients at Crumlin, and Cian’s Kennells which arranges transport for your pet to and from your home to the hospital for visits.

Shane Barry and his friend John Doherty decided to ride horses from Donegal to Dingle – a distance of almost 500km to raise funds for both charities.

They set off 14-days ago and have raised almost €15,000.
