Friends of a young man who has spent over a year in hospital with a rare post Covid condition are walking from Galway to Dublin to raise much needed funds for his care.
Darren O’Connor, from Raheny, Dublin, went to the GP with a temperature in October 2021 and was referred to Beaumont Hospital where he has been ever since with Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome, a rare post Covid disease which has a high mortality rate in adults.
The 35-year-old's lifelong friend, Eoin McMahon, will be walking over 210km with pals Robert Ryan, Marc Malone, Gary Moore, and Conor Bergin over seven days from May 28 to June 3, 2023, to raise money to help support Darren and his wife Samantha.
