Local family attempt to raise funds for 'great cause' - Kilkenny Live
The family welcome and appreciate any donations
The Balfour family are taking part in two events on Saturday, September 7 in order to raise funds for their son Michael.
In Glendalough Mary will take part in the 1500m lake swim, while in Kenmare Denzell will do the Lost Sheep Middle Distance Triathlon.
The pair's son Michael has had several surgeries here in Ireland since being diagnosed with a Pituitary tumour in March 2016.
The family have had to travel to Germany for Proton Therapy from January to March of this year. Subsequently, the Gavin Glynn Foundation stepped in and managed all the logistics and costs to manage the trip.
The foundation took the stress away so that we could focus on Michael's wellbeing. They booked flights, transfers and accommodation.
All funds raised here will go directly to this great cause so that they can keep helping other families who need to travel for treatment.
