'We need your help to save my boy', father of child who needs life saving cancer surgery in the US

Gavin Glynn has been fighting cancer since he was 17 months old, there are no more options for him in Ireland.

GAVIN GLYNN IS a 4-year-old boy from Greystones who needs life saving cancer treatment in America.

He was diagnosed with cancer at just 17 months and has battled the illness for almost three years.

His family were recently told that there are no more treatment options in Ireland.

Gavin’s last hope is to travel to Texas for the pioneering surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Gavins father John Glynn explained how there’s no other option for his son: “Our last chance is to travel to Texas for treatment.”

His family are trying to raise the €350,000 that the treatment will cost.

John said that “luckily Gavin likes airplanes and can’t wait to take off in a jumbo jet.

We need your help to get there, we need your help to save my boy.
