A fundraiser for Tyrone Murphy, a 26-year-old Cork man battling brain stem cancer, has surpassed its initial goal thanks to an overwhelming community response.
A fundraiser launched to help a young ‘hard working and honest’ Cork man get the cancer care he needs has received an overwhelming response. A GoFundMe was recently set up for 26-year-old Tyrone Murphy, who must travel to the UK for life saving treatment for the cancer he is bravely battling. Tyrone will go to Manchester to receive radiation treatment on a tumour that he has on his brain stem, a six week process during which time he will need to recover in a hotel, which will incur extra fees.
Thankfully, his loving mother Sharon will stay with him during his tough recovery. The Cork man’s loving sister, Chloe, has launched a GoFundMe for him, which has seen an outpouring of support from the community. Since launching, the fundraiser has raised a staggering €25,000, well over the initial target. In a post on GoFundMe, Tyrone’s sister said he was a “hard working, honest, family oriented young man” as she appealed to the public for support in helping him. “Never in my life did I think this would be at our front door. We’re all heartbroken but rooting and believing in a higher power,” she wrote. “My brother Tyrone (as a lot of people would know) is a hard working, honest, family oriented young man. “At the young age of 26 he’s been given a life line to go to Manchester to receive radiation treatment on a tumor that he has on his brain stem. This is a six week process and he will be recovering in a hotel/Airbnb over there also which will also incur additional fees. “As a family, we are down on our knees asking for help. Anything at all that you have spare in your pocket. I know times are tough for everyone but if we could all just give something small it would make a huge difference. “Tyrone don’t deserve this
