Last September, we were joined in studio by Quin native Owen O’Brien to talk about his son Cillian, who had suffered life changing injuries following a sudden collapse in school this year. Cillian’s collapse on the 5th of February last was caused by a rare condition called Arteriovenous Malformation. The 12 year-old sustained a catastrophic brain bleed and was rushed to Temple Street Children’s Hospital. Cillian’s acquired brain injury affected his speech to the point where he was non-verbal, his vision was compromised, and he was physically unable to support himself. An iDonate campaign had been set up with a target of €300,000, to help provide accessible and future proofed living space at the family home in Galway. Fundraising has continued both locally and further afield to help the O’Brien’s achieve that goal. Pat Ryan, co-founder of QCM cycling club is the latest to undertake a fundraiser for Cillian. He and his fellow co-founder Liam Kitson are undertaking a sponsored cycle (Saturday, December 20th) from Cillian’s grandmother’s house in Quin to Cillian’s house in Galway city and back to Quin on the same day.
