Ballygiblin National School 2nd class pupil, Róisín McCarthy, who lost her little sister to cancer this summer, has raised thousands for charity Oscar’s Kids through a GoFundMe page, titled ‘Remembering Courageous Clódagh’ and earlier this week, led a fundraiser at her school, a ‘Golden Day,’ to help shine a light on her late sister, Clódagh’s life.
Golden Day on Tuesday, September 30th, also coincided with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September, giving the local event added significance.
