Five lifelong friends will be walking across Ireland to fundraise for a Dublin man who has been in hospital for over a year since contracting Covid-19.
Raheny man Darren O'Connor, 37, is suffering from Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome — a rare post-Covid condition that has left him unable to speak or move his body. As a result, Darren can only communicate via his eyes and by tilting his head slightly.
Childhood friend, Eoin McMahon, 36, will be making a gruelling 207.5-kilometre journey from Galway to Dublin with four other friends to raise money to help cover the costs of Darren's treatment. Speaking about his beloved friend, Eoin told Dublin Live: "We’ve known each other since secondary school. We were thick as thieves. I went on his family holidays and he come to my family holidays. We were inseparable.
