The mum of a Dublin student with a rare disorder that could kill him is desperately appealing for urgent support to pay for his life-saving surgery.
Conor Burke, 22, who is originally from Athlone, was officially diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome a year and a half ago.
Since then Conor's health has deteriorated to the point where he needs a wheelchair full-time and has to wear a hard neck collar to keep his head up.
