A Tullamore family are calling on people to help raise funds for their son who needs life-saving surgery in Chicago in the next six months.
Tommy and Natalie Conway (née McCabe) need your help to save two-year-old Joey who has been diagnosed with Portal Vein Thrombosis. Joey’s condition has led to Portal Hypertension which is where blood vessels expand in the oesophagus causing varices. This leaves him at risk of a bleeding episode. If Joey suffers a bleeding episode, he will bleed through his mouth or in his nappy with a death-risk rate of 40%.
