Gavin's Story
Since his diagnosis at just 1 year old, Gavin has been suffering from Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancerous tumour of the pelvic muscles. Now, following 3 years of treatment in the care of Dublin's Crumlin Hospital, the Glynn family races against time to raise urgently-needed funds for potentially one final, life-saving treatment in Texas.
After undergoing numerous treatments and surgery, time is running out for Gavin, his parents Jayne and John. As the tumour continues to spread, Gavin has now been given months to live.
My Boy campaign
The Glynn family has just one week to raise €350,000.
The 'My Boy' campaign is a text-donate campaign where people can donate e4 by texting 'Gavin' to 50300, (T&C's apply)* or make a donation at www.TeamGavinGlynn.ie. Socially savvy Mothers and Fathers are also being encouraged to share a selfie of themselves with 'My Boy' and nominate a friend to encourage the campaign to spread across Ireland.
*Terms and conditions: 100% of text cost goes to Team Gavin Glynn across most network providers. Some providers apply VAT which means a minimum of €3.26 will go to Team Gavin Glynn. Service Provider LIKECHARITY 014433890
Funds from the campaign will help give their boy that last chance they are fighting for.
