A local community has rallied around a man following his diagnosis with Motor Neurone Disease last year.
Larry Halpin from north county Dublin, was diagnosed with the condition after noticing subtle changes in his fine motor skills. The grandfather owned his own garage in Balrothery and first noticed something was amiss when he struggled with screwing bolts into cars.
He was diagnosed last year after spending a week in Beaumont Hospital last summer. His daughter Kennedy explained that the news has devastated the family, which led Larry's friends to organise an important fundraiser connected to the sport he loves.
