GoFundMe launched in aid of suicide prevention charity after tragic death of young GAA star

A GoFundMe has been launched by the brother of a young GAA player who suddenly passed away in January.

Brendan Vesey, who organised the GoFundMe for his brother Liam, will be doing one week of the Camino trail in Spain with friend Liam Coll to raise funds for SOSAD, a charity that works to raise awareness and help prevent suicide in Ireland.

So far the GoFundMe has exceeded the initial goal of €500, having raised a whopping €18,063 for the pair to travel to Spain, where they will walk 25+ kilometres a day to help bring in funds for the charity which is close to Brendan’s heart.
