Dublin hospital staff - with help from Colin Farrell - band together to raise funds for colleague's daughter battling rare tumour

The staff of a Dublin hospital - with a little help from Colin Farrell - have banded together to help raise funds for their colleague's daughter who is battling a rare brain tumour.

Marlie Meehan, 3, was diagnosed with ETMR (embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes) - an incredibly aggressive form of cancer that affects just one in 700,000 children - last August.

Bright and bubbly Marlie has since fought through multiple surgeries and bouts of chemotherapy over the past few months - but has kept her trademark smile on her face and elephant obsession going throughout it all.
