'Do it for Danny' - Fundraiser launched for family of one-year-old with inoperable brain tumour
The GoFundMe has raised a massive €16,000 euro so far, with the family set to spend the much-needed funds on light therapy for Danny.
A local community has rallied to raise funds for the family of a Donegal child born with an inoperable brain tumour.
Danny McLaughlin was born with his twin brother Charlie in June 2023, and has lives in Churchill with his mother Annie and grandparents Marcus and Teresa.
Danny was born with an inoperable brain tumour, but this has not stopped the Donegal tot from enjoying a happy and loving life surrounded by family for over a year.

A fundraiser has since been launched by family friend Joanne Trimble, who met the family during Danny's treatment in Dublin.
"I got to know this family when Danny got home from Temple street aged only 4 weeks," Joanne explained.
"This little man has nurses to care for him at night. He and his little brother Charlie are the most amazing little boys," she added.
Explaining the reasoning of the fundraiser, Joanne said: "We want to help Danny to avail of light therapy, this treatment could really help to give Danny a better chance".
"Anybody that meets Danny will know just how special he is".
The online GoFundMe has raised over €16,000 so far, with a goal of €20,000 in reach.
"All donations are much appreciated," Joanne said.
