Hannah Leonard, 22, was struck by a car while training for a marathon in Sicily, sustaining life-changing injuries. After undergoing emergency surgery and months of care in Sicily, she is now being transferred back to Ireland for further treatment.
The family of a young Irish woman who suffered life-changing injuries after being struck by a car in Sicily have provided an update on her condition, sharing that their beloved daughter would be “coming home”.
A GoFundMe launched to help assist with Hannah’s medical costs has amassed over a quarter of a million euros during her hospital stay, with her loving father Kevin providing updates on his daughter's condition. “They still refer to her as being like their daughter or sister. We now have a date confirmed and there are many people working tirelessly in the background in Ireland to make everything happen which we are so grateful for.
“Ralph was here for the first week after Hannah’s accident, visiting with her for the first time in nearly two months. He got to see just how far she has come. “In the last week Hannah still shows small improvements, she has somehow slept through a few of our visits but other visits she shows a little more of an alertness and we get some different responses when we touch her legs or stretch out her hands and arms.
