Loved ones of a "superhero" dad have raised more than £17,000 in his memory. Dom Halpin died aged 33 just four weeks after being diagnosed with cancer.
A passionate member of the Red Wall supporters club, Dom had always dreamed of seeing Wales' football team get to a World Cup. The B&Q Newport worker died on April 15 before he could see his country clinch a place at the tournament, but his image was shown on the big screen at last Sunday's play-off victory against Ukraine in the Cardiff City Stadium. Wales captain Gareth Bale tweeted: "Really sad to hear of the passing of Dom Halpin, thoughts are with his family."
Dom, of Greenmeadow in Cwmbran, often said he would one day love to take his eight-year-old daughter Amelia to Disneyland, his lifelong friend Jamie Sinclair told WalesOnline. Jamie said Amelia was the most important thing in Dom's life and he would be overjoyed that she will be able to visit the theme park after £17,200 was raised in his memory.
