A fundraising walk is taking place today for Liverpool fan and Monaghan teenager Daire Gorman to help him travel to France to compete as a member of a wheelchair football team in a special competition this summer.
Local Gardaí have launched the fundraiser for their honorary garda colleague Daire - one of their Little Blue Heroes.
The 5KM walk with Daire will take place in Rossmore Park in Monaghan Town this morning at 10am. After a tough year last year with Daire in daily pain, he needs another 2-3 operations on his legs this year.
Any monies left over will go directly to Daire's family for help with the ongoing costs for Daire's care. Local Gardai want Honorary Garda Daire to know that he’ll never walk alone.
