Sallins coffee morning for local man diagnosed with cancer for third time

A Sallins pharmacy is holding a coffee morning on February 5 in aid of a young man diagnosed with cancer for the third time.

Brave Michael Mullan had been studying law in Harvard University in Boston when he received the latest diagnosis in recent months.

His mum Pat works in the Sallins Pharmacy on the Clane Road which is organising the kind-hearted fundraiser.

Michael is currently undergoing life-saving treatment called immunotherapy in Boston.

A spokeswoman for Sallins Pharmacy said: "We are hoping to raise funds at the coffee morning at 10am on February 5 to keep this treatment ongoing.

"Pat is a long standing and valued member of our team here in Sallins Pharmacy and we want to support Pat and her family during this difficult time. "Your support would be greatly appreciated."
