Gavin CooperOver €18,000 raised towards Athlone man's lifesaving surgeryby Rebekah O'ReillySome €18,800 has been fundraised to date to help with the cost of lifesaving surgery for Athlone father-of-three Gavin Cooper. Gavin shared his story in September after a devastating prognosis gave him a life expectancy of just five years. He has been living with sarcoidosis since 2016, but his condition has significantly deteriorated in recent years. "He needs biliary and portal vein reconstruction. "The hospital have sent letters to the UK along with his files, and we still await any word back," she said.
