Fundraising events have been taking place to support 15-year-old Rocco as he undergoes treatment in Texas that is not available in Ireland. To date, around €209,800 of a target of €280,000 has been raised.
This weekend, the people of Carrick are coming together to support Rocco with a 5K, which also ties in to a wider 100K challenge.
The walk begins at the Meenaneary Community Centre at 1pm this Sunday, February 27. It is open to everyone and tea and coffee will be served afterwards.
