An Irish father of two has said his family’s world has crumbled after he was diagnosed with incurable ALS but he has vowed to fulfil a final wish to secure them a home.
41-year-old Johnny McCowen was diagnosed with the rare and aggressive Motor Neurone Disease in September 2021. The Laois man has been living in Australia since 2009 and is married to his wife Sherie since 2018. They have two daughters together - Darcy and Riley.
The devoted dad has already raised a staggering sum of money through a GoFundMe page which is approaching $250,000 Australian dollars (just over €160,000).
