JoeyMajor fundraising drive for young Offaly boyA major fundraising campaign is underway in Offaly to help meet the costs of vital surgery for a two-year-old boy in Chicago. On August 14, 2021, Tommy and Natalie Conway (nee McCabe) from Tullamore welcomed their gorgeous baby boy Joey. Baby Joey became the little brother to Molly in 2021 and he became a big brother himself to Jordi in June 2023. We nearly lost our precious baby Joey in March when he developed invasive Group A Strep (iGAS), which left our baby on a ventilator in the ICU in CHI Crumlin for two weeks. Portal Hypertension has life threatening symptoms and the risk of death is 40% on a first episode of bleeding.
